Those who defended the country are returning to their railway business. We are grateful to everyone for their courage and do everything to support them in the new stage of life.
Andrii Sobkovskyi
So that veteran Andrii Sobkovskyi could effectively perform his duties as the Vinnytsia station administrator after the amputation of both legs, his colleagues from the "Station Company" branch rallied together and provided him with a modernized electric-powered wheelchair for full mobility.
Vasyl Seredenko
For the veteran's effective return to his position as a labor protection engineer, his workplace at Holta station was comprehensively modified and adapted to his physical needs related to the use of a prosthesis.
Ihor Harbar
Upon the return of the demobilized veteran, the management of the Koziatyn Paramilitary Security unit created a specially adapted timekeeper position for him. This allowed him to work effectively in accordance with his health condition and subsequently receive a promotion to the position of instructor.
Oleh and Artem Rybin
Railway veteran Oleh Rybin returned to work after demobilization but later resigned due to health reasons. His son, Artem, now continues his father's work in the ranks of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine).
Feliks Rasko
A railway worker with over 10 years of experience, he performed combat missions in the hottest spots on the front line, was wounded twice, and received severe burns on his hands.
