Oleksii Pelepeichenko speaks about constant air raids, war-related aging by 15 years, and patients from the frontlines who survive strokes and return to battle.

Neurologist, vertebrologist, and chief physician of the Time Clinic of Neurology and Orthopedics shares his personal experience — how he copes with stress during shelling, how stroke manifests in soldiers, and how war-induced stress affected TV presenter Oleksii Sukhanov's health and led to diabetes.

Under constant attacks by Shaheds and from the 14th floor, with a panoramic view of Kyiv, Oleksii does not go down to the shelter. He preserves sleep as a resource — because in the morning, it’s time for work. His patients are defenders with severe injuries and strokes who need to be stabilized within hours. In the interview, the doctor tells how war steals years of life, how diabetes and hypertension become the norm under stress, and how men and women with cancer and cerebrovascular disorders continue to serve. This is a confession of a strong person who helps others to hold on — and who never loses faith in human endurance, even when the blood vessels of exhausted Ukrainians age by 10–15 years in a single year.
