This is about a personal experience translated into the project “Peremozhtsi” (“Victors”) that tells the stories of Ukrainian warriors who lost their limbs in the military conflict and raises an essential question of society and a state being poorly prepared for these people. She is an enthusiastic volunteer who has been supporting soldiers in hospitals and in the ATO zone, as well as organizing charity events since the beginning of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine in 2014. In 2016 Solomia launched a multimedia project “Peremozhtsi” (“Victors”) that tells the stories of Ukrainian warriors who lost their limbs in the military conflict (ATO), raising an essential question of society and a state being poorly prepared for these people. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
