The story of a volunteer who decided to go to the front
Manage episode 435566821 series 3579871
What would inspire a young Ukrainian man to leave his civilian life, voluntarily sign up for the military, and start training in order to be sent to the front? What do his friends and family think about his choice? How would you feel just days away from joining the Ukrainian military amid this extremely bloody war with Russia?
To understand what it's like, hear the story of Andriy Nedilko, a 28-year old normal guy living in Kyiv who felt compelled to leave his civilian life, leave his girlfriend and family and friends, sign up for the military, and serve his country. I had the pleasure of speaking with him just days before his deployment to understand what he's thinking and feeling.
Born and raised in Chernihiv, Ukraine, near the border with Russia. Andriy moved to Kyiv and upon the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, started an NGO which provide supplies to the frontline. Most recently, Andriy has decided to leave his job and join the military. He will be deployed in late August.
