Ukrainian soldiers who lost their limbs fighting to defend their country from Russia’s invasion over the last few months have arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where they will be fitted for prosthetics.
The five Ukrainian soldiers arrived at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Saturday and were greeted by dozens of Ukrainian-Americans and others, who sang Ukraine's National Anthem.
The greeters also held up signs that read, "Welcome Heroes," with balloons reflecting Ukraine's iconic blue and yellow.
Minneapolis’ FOX 9 reports the trip was initiated by Minneapolis prosthetist Yakov Gradinar of Limb Lab, a Rochester-based prosthetics service.

Free prosthetics in the USA. One would think the WHO would want to do this. All other countries could contribute then.
Remember when U.S. soldiers who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan used to go to the Ukraine to get prosthetics to replace limbs they lost? That was awesome.
Since we give the most to the WHO, we would still be paying for them.
Free. Correction: courtesy of the taxpayers.
Just WHAT do the Ukrainians have on biden that he is willing to give them billions of our money? What will they reveal about him if he doesn’t cough up our money?
Why not to Germany??
They’re not “free”.
Somebody’s paying for them.
Hopefully that somebody will first settle any outstanding present, and set aside $$ for FUTURE, expenses of AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND MARINES who lost limbs or suffered other ongoing expenses resulting from combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Regardless of how you feel about this situation, it’s a good thing to help amputees. The war still sucks though.
Joking right? This isn’t only biden, the gop loves throwing money to ukraine and the world. Wake up.
Free?
Seems they raised funds privately. I didn’t see a mention of federal money in this article. DHS was contacted to provide visas, etc. Worth keeping an eye on.
Free.?? Ain’t NOTHING free.. The American taxpayer is probably picking up the tab..
Sorry, but this is just plain wrong. We don’t treat our wounded warriors with nearly half the respect these foolish gaslighted citizens are showing these foreign wounded soldiers.
Funds raised by Minneapolis non-profit.
Last month 200,000 foreign invaders crossed our borders - to join the millions of others already here.
How many thousands of our citizens have been murdered - killed by drunk
drivers, raped, robbed, on and on.
Why should I give a f*** about what is happening in Eastern Europe?
“the trip was initiated by Minneapolis prosthetist Yakov Gradinar of Limb Lab, a Rochester-based prosthetics service.”
Sounds like a private company doing charitable work.
Good for them
IIRC there have been hundreds of thousands of cases of private charity extended to wounded US soldiers. When the wars were on this was widespread. Go do a search.
Who flew them here and paid for the , I suspect, one way trip.
