A Ukrainian sniper with an elite unit tasked with terrorizing Russian troops revealed in a recent interview that after he was severely wounded in battle, he had over a dozen operations to get back to the front lines.The sniper, who was identified only as Sasha, told CNN reporter Nick Paton Walsh that a large Russian shell damaged his chest, legs, and face last March.With his face partially covered and his voice distorted, likely due to the sensitivity of the work and the high-priority target status for snipers, the man shared that he had a total of 16 operations to reset bones, repair his body, and rebuild his teeth.He described the process simply as "unpleasant" and indicated that remnants of those injuries are still visible in aspects of his appearance.
