There's a difference between blindly throwing amputees into the war like Russia does, and properly rehabilitating and retraining into another workable vocation like these Ukrainians are doing. They'll last much longer. Bonus points: their chances of losing a limb are reduced by 25% per limb lost.

A prosthetic is of course no replacement for an actual limb but they are very advanced nowadays and you can live a normal life with them. That is unless you are Russian. I see Russian amputees all the time without them, any nation that doesn't care for their soldiers is just flat out soulless.
