A leader in prosthetics? That's the title?

Putin is forcing people to die, or lose limbs in a hate war of aggression. They then have their limbs replaced by a piece of shitty plastic, and continue to be disabled for the rest of their life.

Indeed. Call me when metal soviet-tank-girl-aesthetic cybernetic limbs with hiden extra functions that inspire fear and disgust in the elites, not just for "mobility aide"s likely to be rejected at both recycling centers and land-fills.

Putin doesn't have the guts to give those veterans what they need, if not deserve.
