He was a participant in the Russian-Ukrainian war, in particular, a platoon commander of volunteers (2014) and a company (2015). In 2014, he was seriously injured in Pisky, Donetsk region: a shell fragment hit his face, tearing his lip and knocking out a tooth. Another fragment damaged his ribs and broke his collarbone, where doctors had to install a fixation plate. After 3 months of recovery, he returned to the front.

He took part in the liberation of Karlivka, Pisky, Avdiivka, as well as in the battles of Stepanivka, Savur-Mohyla, Starohnativka. On March 17, 2016, he was appointed commander of the Da Vinci Wolves, the 1st separate assault company of the Ukrainian Air Force, later reformatted into a battalion.
