Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he has devoted his clinical practice to treating the consequences of war-related injuries in both military personnel and civilians. He has repeatedly participated in complex joint reconstructive procedures together with colleagues from the Czech MEDEVAC programme and collaborates with European reconstructive surgical teams.
