"Tears are sincerity": veterans of the Armed Forces told what attitude expected from society (video)

Sper Vladislav Yeshchenko, who completely lost his eyesight and partially hearing during the elimination of ammunition, when 84 anti -personnel mines exploded near him, that society is not ready for so many wounded and for so many people with disabilities. "Many people are concerned with what they will not be able to help. Some want to get, help, but they do not know how to do it properly," the military says.

According to Eshchenko, there are a number of things that can categorically not be done if there is a desire to help a person with disabilities. For example, do not take a cane and pull. Also, you do not need to be accompanied by guiding your hand in your back, or taking your hand and pulling. In addition, the sapper stressed that the worst can be done for the wounded - to start regretting him. "In no case do not emphasize what happened to him," Vladislav Yeshchenko emphasizes.

The military said that many people now cannot hold back emotions when approaching it on the street. "Tears are pouring. This is sincerity, I can comprehend it. At this point, it becomes clear that it is not tamped," the veteran adds.

However, as Eshchenko emphasizes, you should not approach and shout, for example: "What happened to you? How do you live now?" Sper Vladislav Yeshchenko added that a person who went to the society on his own has already been prepared to ask for help if necessary, but you can approach and ask if such help is needed and how it should be done. "And the person who in this situation will explain how right and how it will be convenient. It will be 100% quality assistance," Yeshchenko says.

According to the serviceman Alexander Shvetsov, who was amputated by the leg after the injury in the battles near Luhansk in the summer of 2014, there are still things that should be helped. "Some high curb, and you see that a person cannot jump from him, you can always approach, put a shoulder. The serviceman Yuri Gudimenko, who during the mortar shelling broke the nerve end in his hand, believes that it is necessary to begin to adapt Ukrainian cities for people with disabilities.

According to him, Ukraine will have to change cities, because there will be a huge number of people with disabilities and amputations in the country. "Simply, look around you, look at whether your core, or the store under the entrance, whether your street at all, whether they are equipped with, say, it was convenient for a person to use it on a trolley," Gudimenko says.
