‘Our own front line’: Ukrainian surgeons see wave of wounded soldiers since counteroffensive began

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

DNIPRO, Ukraine (AP) — The horrors of war arrive through the night at a hospital in eastern Ukraine, a procession of stretchers bearing limp bodies whisked from the front line.The soldiers come with bandaged limbs soaked in blood, faces blackened with shrapnel fragments and stunned eyes fixed on the ceiling, frozen in shock. Lately, they’ve been coming with ever-greater frequency.“Pain!” shrieks a serviceman with a gaping thigh wound as medical workers move him to a surgical gurney.Evacuated from trenches in the east, forests in the north and the open fields of the south, wounded soldiers begin showing up at the Mechnikov Hospital in late afternoon, and dozens more in desperate need of surgery are wheeled in before the sun rises the next day.The surge of wounded soldiers coincides with the major counteroffensive Ukraine launched in June to try to recapture its land, nearly one-fifth of which is now under Russian control. Surgeons at Mechnikov are busier now than perhaps at any other...

Belgium’s 'newest resto' flies the flag for environmentalism

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

It’s (probably) the newest restaurant to open in Belgium – and it’s already set a marker down for its environmental credentials.Tenshi, a fusion of Asian cuisines, is the “new kid on the block” in a smart commercial centre at Rixensart, which is located very close to the delightful Genval lake in Brabant Walloon.For those living in Brussels the whole area makes for a lovely day out this summer and it is easily accessible, being located just off the Brussels Ring.The restaurant opened just a month ago and is, in fact, the latest in a mini “chain” (the others are located in Uccle, Woluwe St Pierre, Brussels Docks and Charleroi).It is the same “family” of restaurants as Thai Café which may be familiar to readers and which also has a branch on the same site in Rixensart.The owners deserve plaudits not just for the lovely food served here but also for the efforts they are making to rid society of potentially damaging plastics.They are taking concrete action to replace plastic wherev...

PHOENIX (AP) — Pinch-hitter Corbin Carroll’s two-run triple capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 on Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.Arizona rallied late to win for just the third time in 11 games since the All-Star break.Trailing 1-0, Arizona tied it in the eighth off JoJo Romero (2-1), who had retired the side in order in the seventh in relief of Steven Matz. Ketel Marte led off with a triple to the gap in left-center and scored when Jake McCarthy punched a single up the middle through St. Louis’ drawn-in infield. Chris Stratton relieved and retired two batters but walked pinch-hitter Dominic Canzone before Carroll, batting for Emmanuel Rivera, drove one to the center-field wall, where Dylan Carlson could not make the play.“I think that one meant a little more,” said Carroll, who was getting a day off until the eighth. “We got a lot of guys that are grinding right now. Just to put one in th...
