“No tests from the enemy, no pressure forced me to stop in the steadfast struggle for Ukraine. That is why leaving the service became the most difficult decision I made in my life.
I am undergoing the necessary treatment. After all, even the indomitable sometimes need to be patched up a little to keep them afloat. After all, military service always requires sacrificing health. And without timely recovery, everything can become useless,” Marchenko wrote.
Let’s add
Dmytro Marchenko is a participant in the war in the east of Ukraine, who participated in the battles for the Donetsk airport among the “cyborgs”.
In March 2014, he received the rank of major and the position of battalion commander. Previously, he held the position of head of the Main Department of Development and Material Support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On May 3, 2019, he received the rank of major general. Ukrainian media called Marchenko one of the leading reformers in the field of material support of the Armed Forces.
In 2022, during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, he successfully managed the defense of Mykolaiv until April 6. At the end of July 2022, he returned to the city, where he was engaged in strengthening cooperation between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the regional authorities, as well as coordinating the actions of partisans.
We will remind
Last week, the ex-commander of the United Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Yuriy Sodol, also resigned from the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces through the VLK.
