Since the full-scale invasion, Oleksiy took up the defense of his country. Initially, he served in the 208th battalion of the 114th Territorial Defense Brigade, where he successfully carried out a diversionary operation in the occupied territory of Kyiv region (the village of Kopyliv), aimed at destroying enemy equipment and personnel.

We honor all fallen heroes

'Hlavkom' joins the moment of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who died fighting for their homeland. We remember those who fell at the hands of Russian invaders, lighting candles in memory and bowing our heads in mourning during the nationwide moment of silence, honoring the bright memory of citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: all military, civilians, and children, all who perished in the struggle against Russian occupiers and as a result of the attack of enemy troops on Ukrainian cities and villages.
