Kostiantyn, a staff sergeant of the National Guard of Ukraine, defended his home city of Chernihiv from the first day of the war. On the third day of the foe’s all-out offensive, Kostiantyn, together with his friends, took captive two russian military servicemen from the crew of a wrecked tank; one of them turned out to be a tank battalion executive officer. Later, he protected his subordinates at the cost of his health. A projectile exploded nearby while the soldier moved from one trench to another. Medics literally assembled his leg bone part by part. The hero from Chernihiv has already been serving for 20 years. Now he needs several months to rehabilitate and recuperate.
