Read beyond the headlines
Not every important memory from military service concerns combat. Some concern the road there and the people travelling alongside you.
My name is Petro Voloshynovskyi, and this is my own perspective, not an official military statement. Read my full story, see photographs and find the unchanged original three-page account here. If these words speak to you, please share them with someone who follows events in Ukraine.
