More about the wounded:
Andriy was injured while on duty at a checkpoint near the village of Zhelobok (Slovjanoserbsk region).

On September 27, despite the declared truce Ukrainian positions were shelled again from a BM-21 “Grad” rocket launcher causing the shrapnel leg injury to the soldier. First aid was provided in the city of Lysychansk, he was then transferred to Kharkiv, now he is being treated at Irpen’s military hospital.

Despite all efforts, the bone can not be restored using traditional surgical methods. Fortunately, doctors from the Ilaya Medical Center are ready to take on his and restore the bone using stemcell technology – the only way to save the soldier from permanent disability.

Andriy was born in Kremenchug. In peacetime, he served with the Internal Troops unit in Crimea.

During armed conflict he was taken prisoner twice. The first  time was at the end of March, when Russian troops surrounded his military unit in the city of Feodosia. After this he was transferred to Donetsk, and three months later it was taken over by separatists. It is worth noting the fighter is one of the heroes who liberated Slovjansk.
He enjoys sport – swimming, gymnastics, and is qualified as a PE teacher. Even with a potentially debilitating injury he is determined to recover. After treatment he hopes to defend his homeland once again, and after the war – to make a return to sport. Let’s help him realize his potential!
