Before russia’s full-scale invasion, Oleksii organized festivals and gastronomic tours and took part in a well-known Ukrainian cooking show. After 2022, he was mobilized and began improving food provision in the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Magura”: he raised funds and set up the first “food truck” — a mobile kitchen that can quickly move between positions.

So far, Oleksii has equipped two such vehicles, which are successfully operating on the frontline and providing Ukrainian soldiers with quality hot meals. He later transferred to the 3rd Army Corps, where he continues to develop the food truck initiative.

Oleksii aims to scale up his experience and create modern mobile kitchens for the frontline. He has also developed a trench “superfood” — nutritious, well-balanced snacks with a long shelf life.

Media can arrange interviews with Oleksii both online and offline in Kharkiv upon prior request.
