Ukrainian soldiers' most urgent needs are tourniquets and armored cars to evacuate wounded troops

• In Washington, much of the debate over helping Ukraine has focused on bombs and missiles.
• But on a recent trip, medics told one expert that what they really need is more basic.
• Among other things, "There's a need for tourniquets," Melinda Haring told Insider.

Ukraine needs missiles, bullets, tanks, and fighter jets. It also needs to keep as many of its soldiers alive as possible if it is to continue fighting a much larger, more powerful adversary — and there, according to an expert who recently visited the front lines, Ukraine's allies are failing it.
