A group of Ukrainian soldiers are in the US for treatment and to be fitted for prosthetics. They range in age from 39 to 58 and served in different positions in the Ukrainian army.

The nonprofit helping them was founded by Ukrainian-Americans and the soldiers are being exposed to American life as much as possible. Lydia Tomkiw reports.
