In the video: a soldier with a leg injury is being helped, medical equipment, including a patient monitor, a thermal blanket, medicines, and stabilization center staff carrying the patient on a stretcher into a car.

Interview: Oleksandr, a military doctor with the 56th Brigade; Petro “Matador”, a medic with the 56th Brigade, tells us about his call sign, his civilian profession, his duties as a medic, and his dream of becoming a plastic surgeon.

For reference: a stabilization center is a place where combat medics evacuate the wounded. There they examine the soldiers and stabilize their condition. It is located near the front line and it is there that the injured must be quickly provided with first aid, emergency surgery, and stabilized so they can be transported to a hospital.
