The TCC worker who was spat on by a Poltava fitness coach has left Ukraine.

Senior soldier Oleksandr Matsko, who has endured many years of war and sustained serious injuries, decided to go to Germany where his wife and son have already been since the beginning of the conflict. He is helping to transport cars for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Europe to Ukraine.

Matsko recalls that before becoming a soldier, he worked as a builder, with skills as a mountaineer and electrician. However, after his injury, it is very difficult for him to perform these professions.

My health has long been insufficient for such work, so I can only drive. Drivers earn more than soldiers in the TCC, - says Matsko.

Oleksandr Matsko has been fighting since 2015. During battles near Izium, he sustained serious injuries that kept him in treatment for almost a year. After rehabilitation, he was recognized as a second group disabled and transferred to the military registration and enlistment office.

This incident became known throughout the country and caused widespread outrage. After that, an action was launched to hand out summonses together with the police to prevent similar incidents in the future.
