Ilona Khomenko's husband died fighting in eastern Ukraine. Now she's helping train soldiers and civilians in combat first aid. “The best people of Ukraine are in the war. And I want to learn everything that will help me save them,” she said.
The center teaches, for example, how to apply a tourniquet in 25 seconds. Such an action can save a life.
The training mimics front-line conditions. At one location, an instructor frantically shouts into a trench: “A sniper is working in the sector. Drag them to safety! Do you want to live?” Natalia Demchevska, a doctor in the emergency service in the Kyiv region, said she came to the training to learn how to provide first aid in combat conditions. She said she learned many things she didn’t know before, even though she works in medicine.“We live in a war. And we do not know how the circumstances will develop. When a missile comes, it doesn’t choose who to hit,” instructor Maksym Maksymenko said.
