The story of National Guardsman Mykhailo, who returned to Ukraine on February 24 to go to the front

Mykhailo, a National Guardsman, worked as a truck driver in Poland, but on February 24, 2022, he urgently returned to Ukraine in his truck.

He could not stand aside from the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Russia, so he immediately stood up for the defense of the Motherland.

The story of a former wage earner, and today a military man, was told in the National Guard.

From 2013 to 2015, the 28-year-old truck driver, driver of the National Guard of Ukraine served in the military unit 3039.

After graduation, he left for Poland, where he got a job as a driver: he drove a truck around Europe.

“On February 24, a friend called and told me that a full-scale invasion of the occupation forces had begun on the territory of Ukraine. I understood that there is no need to waste time, we need to return”Mykhailo recalls.

According to him, on the same day, at around 11:50 p.m., he crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border and drove to Mykolaiv on his freight train, which he fondly calls “Bibika”. Decided to return to his 3039th part.

The National Guard adds that for Mykhailo, his truck is not just a pile of metal, but a loyal assistant. There was not even a day that they parted. On it, Mykhailo transports cargo and provisions for the military.

“Of course, when I arrived at the military unit in a truck, everyone was surprised and amazed, such a car had never served before. When it was necessary to dress the personnel, I brought 90 cubes of uniforms”Mykhailo said.

According to him, when there was a problem with water in Mykolaiv, he brought it from Odessa. It is much more convenient to do this with a furrow than with an ordinary bus, everything will fit in it.

After the victory, he plans to ride a truck to the victory parade.

“I already want this day to come. I will proudly tell my children about the adventures with “Bibika”. Well, of course, my thirst for travel does not disappear anywhere, in the future I plan to visit as many countries as possible”Mykhailo shared his plans.

We will remind, almost a year ago, another wage earner returned from Estonia, and today a national guard with the call sign Jackson. He is one of those who liberated Kherson and part of the region from the Russian invaders in November 2022.
