21-year-old Mykhailo Triskach from Poltava region has been serving in the military since 2020. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he defended Mariupol. In April 2022, he was captured by Russians and was held captive for about nine month:
“I was sitting in a camp, later I learned it was Olenivka. We had a territory where we could go out, take a walk, meet with the guys. There were 170 of us on one floor and in general in this yard. I really wanted to get home so badly. I wanted either to run away or…there were thoughts of suicide. But I kept telling myself that I signed up voluntarily and I need to somehow fight to the end.”
He was released and after recuperation now he serves in the security platoon of the Poltava City Territorial Defense Unit. He belives military training is very important: “
“When they [russians] start shooting in your city, you’ll realize: “Why didn’t I learn then? Why didn’t I get a weapon? Why can’t I shoot him now?” And that’s it.”
