A Mykolaiv marine Artem<\/strong>, call sign \u201cSaur\u201d<\/strong>, lost both arms<\/strong> after suffering a severe combat injury, but learned to operate an FPV drone<\/strong> and continues to master everyday tasks. The defender\u2019s story was featured on the program \u201cBreakfast with 1+1\u201d<\/strong> in the \u201cQuiet Stars\u201d<\/strong> segment.<\/p>\n

Artem<\/strong> joined the Ukrainian military in August 2022<\/strong>. His service began in Mykolaiv<\/strong>, and he later transferred to the Marine Corps. There, he learned to operate drones, became a crew commander, and carried out combat missions on the Kherson<\/strong> and Donetsk fronts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The marine was severely wounded in the Donetsk region<\/strong>: as the soldiers were leaving a combat position, they came under mortar fire. Artem<\/strong> sustained multiple injuries to his arms. Evacuation took about 12 hours<\/strong>, and doctors had to amputate both arms.<\/p>\n

He began his rehabilitation at Superhumans<\/strong>, a military trauma center in Lviv. His wife, Veronika<\/strong>, became an important source of support. With the help of a psychologist, the defender discovered painting and gradually began to find other activities.<\/p>\n
