A volunteer and a caretaker embrace next to Roman Kubishkin, a 41-year-old construction worker. Mr. Kubishkin joined a volunteer battalion and was based in Pisky, a village near the remains of the Donetsk International Airport. Shells fired by Russian controlled forces on January 22, 2015 nearly killed him; in fact, his fellow soldiers thought he was dead due to a severe head trauma during which Roman lost much of the right side of his brain.
