Ukrainian medics who treated soldiers wounded in the battle for Bakhmut say they were stretched thin during one the bloodiest battles of the war but managed to keep their spirits up.

One medic prayed before every shift and told jokes while another confessed that seeing "young guys become invalids is very hard."
