This segment made me cry. Cry for the humanity, hope, love, and resilience displayed. And you said it well in your last sentence; I was thinking that too, the Russians leaving the dead in the fields, denying their families a body to bury and compensation for their death. Ukraine is such a stunning place with such amazing people. Thanks for showing us this.

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍 watching the footage while editing, it made me cry too, once again… so inspiring.

[@catalinacurio]

Excellent care for your heroes Ukraine, such a tragedy that there is a need. Reparations must be paid by Putin. 🇺🇦

[@iggvec5769]

Damn I love that nation... It's unbelievable how mentally strong they are, nothing can stop them, it's a pure warrior spirit 💙💛

[@buddyrojek9417]

I live in Ukraine. Seeing 4 men together with prosthetic legs walking in the major homemaker and hardware store, really brought the war home for me. They seemed to get around ok, it’s so difficult to see. The west was so slow and allowed Russia to mine. They should never had this time to prepare. A mess for years to come .

[@SiliconCurtain]

I agree, it’s heartbreaking. And so many deaths could have been prevented by faster action by the west. Visiting the military cemetery in Lviv was far tougher though.

@@SiliconCurtain thanks for your support, love your channel , listen to every one

[@Chompchompyerded]

We in the west still aren't giving enough as is needed to finish this war quickly, and permanently. I keep hoping that will change, and I keep spending time calling and writing letters to the people who represent our district in the House and the Senate. I wish more people would do this and put more pressure on them to provide more to Ukraine. Since I am retired, and am myself disabled, there isn't a lot I can give myself (though I do give what little I have leftover at the end of the month), but I do have time. Lots of time, so I call, and I write, and I hope that somehow it will help, even if its just a little bit. If more people would give up some time to write to their MP's and their Congressmen and Senators, maybe our fingers could add up to some real help for the people of Ukraine.

[@erikz1337]

I am so disappointed that European governments are losing pace in supporting Ukraine and even not delivering on what they have pledged.

[@alexanderlehner1849]

It blew my mind. Recently we discussed on Jonathan's channel about Ukrainian women. But this one is really next level. Today he said "This is why Ukraine must win.". I disagree. This is why Ukraine WILL win. Looking at their level of entrepreneurial spirit and humanity, they will outreach other countries by far.

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍

[@SiliconCurtain]

Rather than Ukraine being grateful to us, it’s we who needs to show gratitude to Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@alexanderlehner1849]

@@SiliconCurtain Yes. They will kick our ass in terms of weapon technology, medical issues, communication and energy infrastructure, high-tech electronics, social needs and help, education. Everything. Ukraine is IMHO indestructible and a raising star - if we let her glow.

[@garmar704]

[@EEX97623]

*Superhumans* is an incredible organisation, the tour of this facility is humbling access. The restructuring of public spaces in Ukraine and buildings for accessibility shows the forward thinking and progress putting the people first.

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍

[@larsrons7937]

Thank you Jonathan, for inviting us to this facility, and bringing to light one of the often overlooked consequences of the war against Ukraine. I noticed she said _they must learn to love their new bodypart._ Yes indeed, that was important. The number of amputees is beyond our imagination, and we must help them all to get a normal life again. _"We",_ because we must all do more to help Ukraine more in so many ways. And if nothing else, then demand from our politicians to do more. I'm excited to see you in Ukraine, Jonathan. Bedtime now, I'll watch the rest tomorrow. You, and Ukraine, take care, stay safe! Cheers from Denmark Slava Ukraini!

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍 I made this video in August, but have only just improved my editing skills to be able to complete it!!!

[@larsrons7937]

@@SiliconCurtain That's super. And it's fine to upload it now. The project is an ongoing thing, not "daily news". It is the first time I've seen a deeper dive into what's done for the amputees, so it was very refreshing. I know several who don't want to donate to any military equipment (lack of which means killing of more innocent people, but such is their choise). This project could be a fine thing for them to donate to. I will pass your video around. Thanks again.

[@robertfarrow5853]

To tebuild the shattered towns and cities with the injured in mind is the thinking of a great and compassionate country. Slava Ukraini.

[@Grumpyoldman037]

Yes, Ukraine must triumph! I have been watching a lot of videos (walking tour videos are incredible) and I feel that we in the US should look up to them, and aspire to be like them.

[@SiliconCurtain]

[@Dandelion--]

Astonishing! What an amazing achievement - all cresated in record time, in the midst of a war. The character of Ukranians is of the highest - courage, civility, empathy, resilience....

[@SiliconCurtain]

[@concernedrabbit9075]

Russia caused all of this for selfish reasons. How many countries could respond like this with courage and resistance?

[@wendydunn5611]

The Caring Ukrainian nation show so much Compassion and Kindness towards their people helping many with positive solutions to overcome war injuries with rehabilitation and other methods to help them back on their feet. Also for providing the right support and recovery to gain more independence and return back to their communities and workplace and we take our hats off to this proud nation. Glory to Ukraine👏🏻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪🏼❤️🌻❤️🌻💪🏼🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👏🏻 and her Courageous People standing against the evil of a dark dictator and his corrupt regime and defending their nation, freedom and lives, God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ty Silicon Curtain for giving us this interwiew!

[@pierresaelen3097]

Heartwarming. Very touching. Thank you Jonathan.

[@momchilyordanov8190]

This is way more modern than anything I would imagine Ukraine had. Impressive. Especially if they build 5 more centers, like she said.

[@robertfarrow5853]

You must be from USA. Your country compared to Europe is far less developed for the lives of citizens. A third world infrastructure with first world money in the hands of the One percent.

[@utrian4148]

This is what I need and what the world needs to see: The struggle of Ukraine also far beyond the frontline. I wish american politicians would watch this.

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍 I wish they’d pay attention

[@Nepartinis]

Thanks for great journalism!

[@markmongan]

Superhuman indeed!

[@CollectiveWest1]

Thank you Jonathan for this interesting and important video. Humbling to see these ordinary Ukrainians who are at the same time extraordinary. Infuriating to see some of the terrible human cost of Putin's stupid delusional search for glory.

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍 it was such an inspiring place, with such incredible people.

Extraordinary, wonderful,astonishing achievements within a year!.. the spirit of the place and people really comes across in this video,truly inspirational,i had a relative who spent thier entire adult life in a wheelchair,so i have some small insight to what these facilities mean to the patients and thier families.. thanks SC

[@garmar704]

Jonathan, thank you so much for introducing us to these Superhumans. There's never been a more apt name. I'm in awe of Ukrainians. Absolutely.

[@MonteRosa849]

Jonathan, thank you very much for always bringing to us the most relevant issues that Ukraine is currently facing. This story clearly shows that Ukraine will prevail and is facing a bright future. 🇺🇦✌️

[@SiliconCurtain]

👍👍👍

[@cragboom3]

What an uplifting place. Ukrainians are truly a lovely, brave and positive people.Its great to see humanity on this level in a war zone. Really cheered me up watching this especially when I see all the vile religious hatred around the world and in our cities. I think we in the UK could learn some humility and compassion from Ukrainians. Interesting there are not thousands of boat loads of Ukrainians "fleeing a war zone" to get into the UK. They stand and fight for freedom.

[@SiliconCurtain]

♥️♥️♥️

[@Waverlyduli]

Very moving but also such very positive work you're doing at the 'Super Humans Center'. I Wish all Ukrainians justice, territorial integrity, peace, joy and prosperity in their future ❤ Slava 🇺🇦

[@agustinussiahaan6669]

Even in a war, you prepared to accept the war-result. This is an amazing sample of devine gourage for other nations to always do the best even during the hard time.

[@Angels-3xist]

What an astoundingly moving display of forward thinking, commitment, love, skill and effort this shows. They call themselves super human and it is on display in every second of the video and it’s important to see this type of inspiration and know that these kinds of efforts are not singular but in fact exist in and outside of every human, community and effort which creates them. It’s rare to see something so impressive, but at the same time I am not surprised to be so moved and impressed by Ukrainian efforts. It is important to know that the future is bright and it involves change and healing and we are already working on that.

I referenced video on Superhumans Center in a letter to my US Senator, Mike Braun and urged him to vote in support of Ukraine. Senator Braun votes against in fears US military will be sent to Ukraine. I pointed him to remarks by CEO Olga Rudnieva that Ukraine is a strong nation. i keep trying with this senator.

[@daviddyerlawson6100]

Thank you very much for posting this wonderful documentary. I admire your work! I wondered what your reasoning might be for not interviewing some of the patients at the facility. It would have been interesting to hear from the clients as well as the admin people.

[@SiliconCurtain]

If we had more time to prepare, perhaps we could have. However there is an interview on the channel with a veteran treated at the centre. It’s in Ukrainian with subtitles.

[@daviddyerlawson6100]

Thank you very much for your note! I will definitely look up the vid you mentioned. Thanks again!

[@alanhowse9213]

As I watched a program, I kept thinking about Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the role it had played in rehabilitating military personnel. And it’s work passion started the para Olympics. my uncle who is just died in his 90s, lived the large part of his life as an amputee after losing a leg just after the second world war in the military. thank you for making this KZbin video

[@Paulus8765]

Amazing. The electric atmosphere is palpable even through an old stuttering phone screen. The centre is also on Google Maps, so let's hope some psychopath doesn't program a missile with its coordinates.

[@mvjh2277]

Perish the thought. Does Lviv have HIMARS in vicinity, though debris from shot down missiles can be damaging even lethal. 🇺🇦

[@thinker646]

One of the current leading people (vanderKolk? Levine?Mate?-i dont remember where i read it) about trauma says that 'trauma is what happens to you in the absence of an empathetic witness"....this may account for what you observed @silicon curtain....if anything the worldwide advocacy by zelenskiy for his own people, and right after the pandemic, too, and efforts like your channel, help garner the empathy that the ukranians can feel and resolve their trauma more easily. At least that's my ever so faintly trauma-"informed" opinion. So interesting to see this video.

[@terryhand]

What an inpirational facility. It's not so much that Ukraine needs the West, we need Ukraine.
