A boy whose legs and right arm were blown off when he stepped on a grenade in eastern Ukraine is once again walking unaided, thanks to a Canadian humanitarian mission and a hospital in Montreal.
Mykola Nyzhnykovskyi, now 12, was playing with his four-year-old brother Danyo and a few friends in a field in his village in Donetsk last August, when they came across the rocket-propelled grenade.
A friend pushed Mykola toward the device and he stepped on it. Danyo was killed in the blast.
