A Canadian who was badly wounded while serving with the Ukrainian armed forces is now recovering in an Ottawa hospital tonight.

The retired veteran who served three decades with the Canadian forces was a part of the international legion, a contingent of global troops helping to fight Russian forces in Ukraine.

In March, the 50-year-old recently retired Canadian veteran travelled to Ukraine to join the fight. A couple of months later, his truck hit an anti-tank mine. He was rushed to the hospital, clinging to life.
