KYIV — In the 10 months since his daughter was born, Ruslan Kozachok has hardly left her side.
He held baby Isabella in the hospital before his wife did. Lately, he’s learned to keep her steady as she practices her first steps.
But he has never seen her.
Three months before Isabella’s birth, Kozachok, 47, was blinded when shrapnel from a Russian shell pierced the left side of his skull in Chasiv Yar, the small city where he was fighting as a soldier in eastern Ukraine.
