From the end of April 2022, he volunteered at the Military Academy of Civil Engineering, where he was trained, and in June he was registered with the Kharkiv TCC and was in a consolidated unit, in the spring of the 23rd he submitted documents for transfer to the 3rd OSHBr and already in the summer he got into the Brigade, where he immediately passed an interview and got to the 1 MB unit. Around 9 a.m., on August 19, while performing a combat mission in the area of ​​Andriivka settlement, he received a bullet wound in the leg. Evacuation was impossible immediately, so I stayed on the battlefield in the turnstile for 8 hours (since I was conscious the whole time, it was the longest eight hours🤣) The tactical medic Rys and the fighter Askoli, whom I had just met that day, fought for my life. Even then I understood that in the best case I would be left without a leg. Due to constant enemy artillery shelling, he got a closed pneumothorax, but he learned about it already in the hospital. He was taken to the hospital about 6:00 p.m. on August 19, where he fell asleep under anesthesia on the operating table and regained consciousness on August 21, in intensive care... From then on, treatment and rehabilitation with prosthetics began.
