Despite his many injuries, Shareef Amin is able to smile.
His body is covered with wounds. Shareef Amin (40) was seriously injured in an operation behind enemy lines in Ukraine in early October. The Briton and his comrades were attacked with shells and artillery. Amin suffered multiple gunshot wounds, shrapnel in his arms and legs, and punctures in his lungs. Only with a lot of luck did he survive the attack. Comrades brought the injured out of the field of fire, as the “Daily Mail” reports.
Amin spent three months in Bristol hospital. The doctors thought the chances that he would ever walk again were slim. Due to his injuries, he has largely lost feeling in his right hand and foot. But the Brit was able to get up again and take his first steps.
But he’s still not quite fit. Specialists in Great Britain should now help to completely restore amine. “They will reconstruct one of my thumbs from one of my toes, remove an artery from a leg to replace one under my forearm.”
“It’s a war for the whole world”
When the war began in February, Amin immediately flew to Ukraine, the homeland of his fiancee. First he provided humanitarian aid, then he enlisted as a soldier. Because the Brit is battle-hardened. He served in the British 1st Battalion “The Rifles” for nine years and had two deployments in Afghanistan. In the army, he earned the nickname “Rambo” because of his courage and endurance on the battlefield. Based on the film of the same name with Sylvester Stallone (76) from 1982.
Despite his serious injuries, “Rambo” wants to go back to Ukraine and to the front as soon as he is fit enough again. “I have never felt more fulfilled as a man and as a person than I do now after fighting for Ukraine and serving the Ukrainian people with help and knowledge,” Amin told the Daily Mail.
The only thing that keeps him motivated and positive after everything that has happened is the knowledge that he is coming back to the front. Because, as he says: “This war is not only the war of Ukraine, it is a war for the whole world.” (jmh)
