Artem
Artem’s family lived in a small town in the Kharkiv region near the Russian border. His father was a courageous man who had joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During his duty he researched the rank of Senior Combat Medic, having saved the lives of many Ukrainian soldiers at the front. His bravery was a source of pride for his family and set an example for his fellow soldiers, particularly after one fierce battle where he single-handedly saved six soldiers at once. Thanks to the bravery of Artem’s father, all six soldiers survived.
However, his bravery and selflessness would be cut short just days later when an enemy air raid took his life.
Artem misses his father very much. His family and friends give him the strength and courage to go on – the sort of strength and courage his hero father possessed.
