Otoshi volunteers with the American Red Cross but was there on his own dime teaming up with the Ukrainian Red Cross.
"As soon as I hit the ground, I responded with the emergency response team, and we went off in an ambulance to one of the buildings that was hit by a cruise missile," said Otoshi at the time."I just said, 'They need my help here. Where do you need me to go and what do you need me to do?'" said Otoshi, describing a moment narrowly missed by a Russian missile, his team leaving a residential building just in time.
"One of the repurposed S-300 cruise missiles landed outside the gate and created a huge crater that would be 15-to-20 meters deep. That's the kind of thing that reminds you, you are at risk. And luckily nobody was hurt but one feral cat that we treated," he saidOne particular animal capturing Otoshi's heart: a young German Shepherd abandoned and adopted by his team -- a welcomed face in the face of war.
"Unfortunately in late March, early April I went with the team to the area of Bucha and Irpin and that was horrific," he said."My first instinct is to run up there and check for a pulse and then the army said everyone stay away because they'll booby trap the body the person goes up there and maybe tries to roll them over to check for a pulse and there's an explosion," Otoshi said.
"I anticipate that many of the people who fled will be coming back. They'll be coming back to their houses, their job opportunities, their schooling," he said. "And, the system is going to get kind of overwhelmed again, especially in terms of the electrical grid.""Even if the war would have stopped today, there is still so much to do," said Otoshi.
