Alexii, 28, right, bandages his limb as his comrade Vitalii Skidan, 26, looks on at a rehabilitation center in a public hospital in Kyiv, Thursday, May 5, 2022. Both soldiers of the Azov Regiment lost their left legs above the knee on March 3 in the same incident. The Azov Regiment derives from a group called the Azov Battalion, which formed in 2014 as one of many volunteer brigades in the fight against Russia-backed separatists in Ukraine's east. It drew its initial fighters from far-right circles and elicited criticism for its tactics. Later in 2014 it splintered into two groups, with one folded into the National Guard as the Azov Regiment, and another becoming a far-right political movement. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
