Body Bags Make Russians Reflect on Ukraine War
[An Nahar] When Russian paratrooper Nikolai Kozlov was deployed to Crimea to help Moscow take over the peninsula from Ukraine, his parents were proud of him.
Six months later Kozlov is disabled for life, an amputee now recovering in hospital from wounds incurred on a Kremlin-orchestrated covert mission to Ukraine to prop up separatists fighting against Kiev.
The paratrooper's uncle, Sergei Kozlov, said his brother asked him to help take care of the young man in the hospital.
