Yaroslav

Yaroslav, 59, has never fought in any war but decided to leave Poland and support the Ukrainian army in its struggle against the Russian invasion.

“I’m rushing back home because this is the last call to support the defence effort. I have worked in Poland as a driver for six years. Now I’ve decided to go back to help my army,” he says passionately. 

“When I heard about the war expanding I felt that I have to go back home. I never fought in any war. I was in the army back in the Soviet times so I remember how to use the gun.”
