Dmytro M. Symonenko

During the events on Maidan, Dmitro's unit was attempted to be deployed to suppress the Revolution of Dignity. Dmitro and a group of paratroopers refused to go to Maidan, for which they were dismissed from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, after the victory of Maidan, he was reinstated and sent to the ATO zone, where he participated in combat operations from the very first days. During this time, his bulletproof vest withstood hits from 4 enemy bullets, and he himself sustained a shoulder injury, but did not leave the unit.
