Ukrainian refugees, wounded soldiers hope for US aid as funding remains stalled

Tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have lost limbs because of the war. Some worry that number could rise without additional U.S. aid held up in Congress.

Mills Hayes joined Fox News in 2022 as a multimedia reporter in Minneapolis.

Twenty-five-year-old Oleksandr Bazilevych has only his right arm left. A Russian grenade exploded near him last September as he was helping a wounded friend reach a medic. He wasn’t surprised when he lost his limbs. 

"It could be even worse," Bazilevych says as he sits in a Minnesota rehabilitation and prosthetic treatment clinic. Other organizations told him it would be impossible to help him. Then he found the Protez Foundation.
