A special forces police officer of the Mykolaiv region<\/strong>, Oleksandr<\/strong>, after nearly a year<\/strong> of combat service in the east, returned to defend his native land. He now works as part of a mobile group with interceptor drones: together with his comrades he detects enemy unmanned aerial vehicles and counters them, protecting residents and important facilities of the Mykolaiv region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oleksandr<\/strong> is 34 years old<\/strong>. Before the full\u2011scale invasion he served in a special purpose unit. In 2022<\/strong> Russian forces occupied the settlement where he is from. At that time the policeman, together with representatives of the Red Cross<\/strong>, helped evacuate local residents to safety.<\/p>\n

About his choice Oleksandr<\/strong> says:<\/p>\n

\n

The most important thing then was to get people to a safe place. I understood that I could not just remain on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was after this experience that he realized he wanted to be where protection was needed. In 2024<\/strong> Oleksandr<\/strong> joined the Combined Assault Brigade of the National Police of Ukraine \u201cLiut\u201d<\/strong>. For nearly a year<\/strong> on the eastern front he carried out combat missions as part of an assault unit.<\/p>\n

During that time, together with his comrades he completed dozens of missions<\/strong>. When one of them was wounded, Oleksandr<\/strong> would return to the dangerous location and evacuate the wounded. He knew that he was awaited not only at home, but also by the people with whom he defends the country.<\/p>\n

This is how the special forces officer explains what saving his comrades meant to him:<\/p>\n

\n

At war you especially understand how important every person beside you is. We are on a mission together, covering one<\/strong> another<\/strong>. If a comrade is wounded \u2014 you must save his life. Whatever happens around you, you have a task \u2014 rescue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The main personal motivation for Oleksandr<\/strong> remained his family \u2014 his wife and young daughter. He thought about a free home and about Ukraine<\/strong>, where his child and other children would be able to live without fear.<\/p>\n

He keeps his journey \u2014 the occupation of his native settlement, the evacuation of people and combat work \u2014 primarily in his memory. According to him, he has no photos or videos that could convey all that was experienced, and it is also impossible to fully describe this experience in words.<\/p>\n

After his service in the east Oleksandr<\/strong> returned to the Mykolaiv region<\/strong>. His current task is countering drones that threaten the region. He is convinced that the defense of the state is not limited to a particular direction or unit: a police officer’s place is where his strength, endurance and professionalism are needed.<\/p>\n

About the meaning of his current service Oleksandr<\/strong> says:<\/p>\n

\n

I know who I’m doing this for. For the sake of my fam<\/strong>\u2019ily. For the people who live here. I want everyone to be able to live safely, work, raise children and not be afraid to look at the sky. That is why we do our job and will do it as long as necessary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For him, this service is not only the fulfillment of a professional duty. It is a personal responsibility for his native land and his homeland, a love of home and the willingness to protect what is most precious every day.<\/p>\n
