Before assuming command, he led the artillery unit of the Rubizh Brigade and distinguished himself during the battles for Luhansk Oblast in 2022. He was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine for his performance.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The unit received 2S22 Bohdana artillery systems and BM-21 Grad rocket launchers.
