Two Ukrainian soldiers arrive in Seattle to receive prosthetics after being wounded in war

Two wounded Ukrainian soldiers are in Seattle to receive prosthetics after losing limbs on the front lines.
Petro Shemigon and Vladyslav Zinkeych arrived at Sea-Tac International Airport Thursday to a hero’s welcome, with local Ukrainians to greet them.
“I feel honored to be honest to be able to see them, to hug them, to thank them,” said Yuliia Matvieieva, a volunteer with UkrHelp Foundation.
Shemigon, an officer in Ukraine’s air force, lost his leg and Zinkeych his arm in combat.
Both are in Seattle to receive prosthetics thanks to the group UkrHelp Foundation.
After waiting six months and one long flight, both soldiers are in good spirits.
“The stairs aren't going to be as scary as they are right now,” Shemigon joked.

Fantastic that they can come to this area to get help. Interesting that no other nations can offer this as well?🤔

[@PavelKrupets]

incorrect statement. other nations can do it as well, maybe limited capacity, too many injured, maybe washington decided to help some soldiers, maybe people raised money, maybe relatives lobbied or sponsored them.
