More information about the wounded:

Yuriy is a rifle company commander in the 39th Infantry Battalions. Exacerbation of the chronic condition of his knee joints began in January 2015, due to heavy lifting during active participation in the revolutionary and military events in Ukraine.

Now the fighter moves only with ctrutches, and his condition deteriorates. Traditional medicine offers a replacement of both joints, robbing the hero of a full life. However, doctors at ilaya Medical Company have developed a treatment regimen that will restore Yuriy’s knee joints.
Yuriy was an active participant in Euromaidan. In a circle of protesters he broke through”Berkut” lines under the guise of a postal worker and helped transport injured away from Maidan as well as making regular deliveries. In addition, in December 2013 he joined Automaidan, and in December 2015 took an active part in the blockade of the Crimea.

In June 2014 Yuriy voluntarily joined the 39th Infantry Battalion and went into the ATO zone. Together with our other soldier – commander of the reconnaissance battalion Roman – he was performing combat missions in Luhansk and Donetsk regions: near Mariupol, Trohizbenky, Zoloty, and Orihovo-Donetsk. He also passed through Ilovaisk. Now Yuriy has came back from the East to his native Kyiv.
