According to inkorr.com: Television presenter and journalist Vadym Karpyak announced his decision to join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by 'Glavkom', citing his words during a telethon.

Decision to Join the Defense of the Country

“Ever since 2022, when I was in this studio, I dreamed that when victory came, my broadcast would mark the moment of announcement of victory. But ultimately, I realized that victory needs to be earned personally by participating in the defense of the country,” he said.

Last Day at Work

It's important to live as you speak,” he added.
