On September 16th, Lyubomyr was on a counter-offensive mission in the Lyman area with the 125th Brigade of the 3rd Corps. During the mission, Lyubomyr was leading a squad into a trench. As the leader of the unit, he was exposed as the first target for enemy attack. Within minutes, a fiber optic drone flew towards him and stabilized at head-level. Lyubomyr lifted his feet in defense before the drone flew at him - he suffered a direct hit. As a consequence, Lyubomyr lost his left foot and had shrapnel wounds in his right foot, legs, lower back and arm. He was evacuated successfully to a stabilization point and underwent surgery. He was then brought to Lviv where he is now beginning the recovery process.
In support of Lyubomyr, who put his life on the line for Ukraine, I am requesting you, his friends, family, supporters and 135 Club network to help raise funds for a new prosthetic for Lyubomyr. The approximate cost for the foot and rehabilitation services is $20k.
Thank you in advance for your support. Lyubomyr is a true hero and we owe it to him to get him back on his feet.
Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava!
