Omelyan Oshchudlyak has the story.]] ((NARRATION)) Svyatoslav Rychkov and Ihor Belianskiy, both from the Donbas region of Ukraine, met in a hospital ward in Lviv. The two were wounded in eastern Ukraine during shelling; both miraculously survived. ((Olena Rychkova, Svyatoslav's Mother)) ((IN RUSSIAN)) “His hand is bad, barely works. But he’s OK now. He can already play his favorite online games.” ((NARRATION)) Olena Rychkova is a nurse from the eastern town of Lysychansk, but right now, she isn't working. Her hospital has been closed for a long time because of constant shelling in the Luhansk region. In Lviv, surgeons extracted a fragment of a Russian missile from the right lung of her 13-year-old son. ((Svyatoslav Rychkov, Wounded by Missile)) ((IN RUSSIAN)) “It looks like a bent bullet.” ((NARRATION)) Svyatoslav survived, thanks to a timely evacuation via a special medical train — a project launched by Ukrainian Railways, together with Doctors Without Borders. ((Yasser Kamaledin, Doctors Without Borders)) ((IN ENGISH)) “On this train, we can transfer up to 30 patients. We have 5 ICU beds with the ability to keep two patients on full mechanical ventilation.” ((NARRATION)) Yasser Kamaledin, an Egyptian, has been working for Doctors Without Borders for a decade. But this is his first medical train. ((Yassir Kamaledin, Doctors Without Borders)) ((IN ENGISH)) “Here in this room, we have our seven oxygen generators. That’s the oxygen plant like the one you would have in any hospital.” ((NARRATION)) Natalya Kyniv, from Uzhhorod, says this train is a mix of an ambulance, a hospital and intensive care unit. ((Natalya Kyniv, Anesthesiologist)) ((IN UKRAINIAN)) “What I like about our train is that we can pick up whole families, or a family with friends. We can take them all out at once.” ((NARRATION)) The story of another medical train patient, Anastasia Pryhoda from Popasna, spread around the world. The badly wounded 14-year-old drove four wounded adults 30 kilometers to safety through Russian shelling. She also managed to pass a mined part of the road at high speed. ((Anastasia Pryhoda, Popasna Resident)) ((IN RUSSIAN)) “The driver's seat was somehow too high. It was high for me. My feet barely reached the pedals. But I was lucky that it was high — that's how I saw those mines.” ((NARRATION)) The train has managed to evacuate more than 500 patients. Doctors Without Borders says the train will continue to run as long as it is possible. ((Omelyan Oshchudlyak, for VOA News, Lviv, Ukraine))
