Minnesota doctor taking prosthetics to amputees in Ukraine

Dr. Greg Ekbom, a Minnetonka doctor, visited Ukraine last month for his fifth trip since Russia invaded in 2022 to provide prosthetics to amputees.
Ekbom leads LimbFit, a nonprofit that has supplied prosthetics to more than 80,000 mostly soldier amputees injured during the ongoing war.
During this visit, Ekbom emphasized a now fully functional prosthetic lab in Kiev and described seeing smoke from a missile hit nearby just before arrival.
Ukrainians expressed concern about continued American support asking, "Are you standing with us?" and Ekbom replied, "we are here, we stand with you."
Ekbom expressed his dedication to continue his work as long as he remains healthy and strong, despite uncertainties in U.S. Policies.
