Russo-Ukrainian War

At the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, in March 2014, he commanded a detachment of the 25th Airborne Brigade, which advanced to the Russian-Ukrainian border. On March 16, a column of the detachment in the Volnovasky district, near the village of Anatolia, reportedly fired upon pro-Russian activists who were obstructing the movement of the convoy to the border, without any conclusive outcome. The column was forced to spend the night in field conditions. The camp of the detachment was set up in a field, on the slope of a stream, in snowy weather. The next day, after negotiations with pro-Russian activists with the participation of local officials, the convoy was permitted to continue its movement in the direction of the Karan railway station.[3]

From December 3, 2014, he commanded the defense of Donetsk Airport until the premises of the building were fully destroyed. He then commanded the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces to Pisky.[4]

On September 21, 2019, he was appointed the commander of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces.[5] On July 21, 2021, he was dismissed from the post.[6]
