Roma Oleksiv suffered 45% burns to his body from the Russian missile attack on Vinnytsia in the summer of 2022. His mom was killed in the attack.

Roma underwent almost 30 surgeries in Germany. He was in intensive care for more than 100 days, and then, for two years, he had to wear special compression bandages to help restrain the intensive growth of scars and facilitate skin plastic surgery. His rehabilitation continues but Roma is finally able to take his mask off.
