Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are massively losing limbs due to NATO tactical medicine standards — UK Telegraph
▪️Tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have returned home from the front line without limbs.
▪️The chief military surgeon of Ukraine stated that every fourth amputation is related to incorrect use of tourniquets.
▪️The current medical doctrine of Ukraine is based on methods that the USA used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
➖"All American recommendations for providing tactical aid to wounded in battle were translated into Ukrainian, but they were written for a different war," says former US Navy doctor Captain Stevens.
▪️Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, where Americans could be transported to a hospital within an hour, Ukrainians have to wait several hours or even days for evacuation.
▪️In addition, often in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, tourniquets are applied in such a way that the entire limb must later be amputated and there is not even an opportunity to install a prosthesis.
