Ruslan Petrov lived for 200 days under occupation in Izyum. His father is a soldier, which is why the Russians took the boy prisoner three times.
Ruslan worked in Poland, but returned home at the end of 2021. His visa was about to expire. With the beginning of the war, it was no longer possible to continue it, and the boy remained in Ukraine.
The boy lived for 200 days under occupation in Izyum. His father is a military man who has been fighting since 2014. Because of this, the Russians captured Ruslan three times. He was there for two or four days.
After the deoccupation of the city, Ruslan and his girlfriend went to the village where they now live to cut firewood. There, the boy came across a shell from an RPG (anti-tank grenade launcher), took it in his hands and it exploded. He lost part of the thumb and index fingers on his left hand. On the right, the middle finger was affected at the level of the nail and half of the index finger. There were also shrapnel wounds on the body, arms, legs, and head.
While looking for a place for prosthetics, Ruslan came across news about the Superhumans Center. He filled out the questionnaire and is already undergoing rehabilitation at our center.
Before the full-scale war, Ruslan was engaged in motor transport and motocross. He understands that he is unlikely to be able to do everything in the same way as before the injury, but he still plans to get on a motorcycle and ride again. That is why he needs the future prosthesis to provide an opportunity to take the wheel well.
The guy also has a joint business with his friends — they buy cars, repair, tune them and sell them to car enthusiasts. Therefore, the prosthesis will greatly help him to continue to do this business.
