UKRAINIAN CANADIANS VISIT MILITARY HOSPITAL IN KYIV
Mr Schuler wrote: "I also had the Honor of visiting a Ukraine Military Hospital in Kyiv. I spoke to several front line wounded Soldiers and they were very, very pleased that a Canadian Politician would visit them. I was not allowed to ask about their deployment, neither could we take any pictures of them. It was very emotional for me as one of the wounded who is all of 20 years old, asked if I would like to see his wounds, unknown to him I swallowed very hard, I felt a little nauseas, but I smiled and said of course I would love to! I realized he could be my son. He had been hit "5" times and showed me where the bullets and shrapnel hit him. As he spoke I realized that his spirits were high, but after what he's been through his youth has escaped him. Before leaving I presented a Canada Flag Pin to each wounded soldier and told them Canada Loves Ukraine and we support them.
In this photo are members of our delegation and Doctors who are "Total Hero's" they work up to 24 hours a day, sleep in their office and repeat the process."
