A veteran of the ATO is finally back after months in Russian captivity

Original version ·

Some news that actually matters: a long-serving soldier from Zhytomyr has finally made it back home.

Vadym Sergiichuk has been fighting since the ATO days, so he’s seen more than his fair share of this war. After serving in the legendary 72nd Mechanized Brigade, he was captured on the Donetsk front last year. For his family, it was a year of silence and zero news.

The craziest part is that he’s the only child in his family. His mother has been dealing with severe health issues while waiting for his return, so this news is literally a life-saver for her. After everything he went through since 2014, he’s finally back on Ukrainian soil.

Sometimes the longest waits have the best possible endings.
