The commander of the company of the 244th battalion, 112th separate brigade of TRO forces Volodymyr Bezditny with the call sign “Crimea” told in the Kramatorsk Station program that he was fighting for peace in Ukraine, and he never once regretted his choice.
“I’m tired, I want to rest, I want it all to end, but it’s not about the wrong choice I made. I went to defend. I am fighting so that my child does not sit in a bomb shelter,” assures “Crimea”.
As for Crimea, where Bezditny was born, the military man is confident that the Ukrainian peninsula will be returned, although he admits that it is not known when this will happen. “I really want to and I’m sure of it. They tell me that it is impossible that the enemy deployed such forces and means there. And I believe in it. I was drawn to this east, I am constantly fighting there. I already want to go to Yalta, Alushta. I am ready to storm those Crimean mountains, although I am not a stormtrooper. I don’t know when it will happen, I hope that during my lifetime, as long as I live, I will try to do everything for this,” said Bezditny.

He managed to get into the war only through the ranks of Teroborona. Then, according to the military, there were bloody battles for the Kyiv region, and after them – the first heavy confrontations with the enemy in the east.
According to Bezdytny, in 2022 he and his brothers had to fight against tanks with only one machine gun. They survived the four-hour battle against 12 enemy vehicles only because the occupiers did not know how many soldiers were holding the position, the serviceman said.

In Crimea, he worked as an investigator, but with the arrival of the occupiers, he did not betray Ukraine, left the service and moved to Kyiv, where he started a successful business from scratch.
You can learn about Bezdytny’s journey from an ordinary infantryman to a company commander, about the loss of those with whom he started and survived the fiercest battles, and about the changes that took place in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and which, in his opinion, should be implemented – you can learn from today’s episode of the program.
As reported, “Kramatorsk Station” is a joint product of Ukrinform and the Center for countering disinformation at the NSDC. The main goal of the project is to show the personal life story of the hero through a frank conversation and at the same time highlight the main Russian IPSO on the topic of the army and war.
The presenters of the program, Kostyantyn and Vlada Liberovy, are documentary photographers who have been recording events in Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale invasion.
