Yevhen said he led a civilian life, working in a gun store. Then he became a soldier and one day, to survive, he had to crawl two kilometers with his legs injured to reach the Ukrainian positions.
Yevhen was severely wounded in July 2023 near Robitne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast:
“We stormed the enemy positions. It so happened that they set a trap for us there; the trench was remotely mined, and I stepped on a mine. They detonated us one by one remotely; many of us died there. I ‘evacuated’ myself to our positions — crawled two kilometers with the tourniquets on my legs.”
He recalled that he first went to the frontline in 2014:
“I was just a civilian back then, working in a gun store.” He went to the frontline for the second time in June 2022:
“Anyone who participated in the battles for Savur-Mohyla knows that it was also intense there. And in 2022, I already knew where I was going, I knew what I was going to do.”
After the amputation of his leg, the soldier could not return to the front line, and now he works at the military recruitment office. He says it helps him that he used to be a regular civilian too, so he understands what people are going through when they get called to serve.

Hero
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I am a US combat Veteran who fought in a handful of countries & then went on to spend years as a Contractor to NGO’s & Gov’t Agencies around the worlds conflict & disaster zones & was WIA & Medevac out twice .
I always call out those arm chair generals criticizing what they have watched in videos from Ukraine, as you never know what level of training the guys have had & they may have just weeks ago been accountants or shop assistants .
Anyone who has fought in combat knows Patton summed it up well
“The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.”
— George S. Patton Jr.
The world owes guys like Yevhen a mountain of respect for how they have stood up in the darkest times for their country & the free world .
Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava!
