     Before the war, Volodymyr had served in the National Guard of #Ukraine and in February 2022 he joined the Armed Forces. He ended up fighting near the city of Avdiivka, in the Donetsk region.

     In 2018 Volodymyr was accused of drug trafficking by the #Ukrainian authorities. He wasn’t sentenced for six years. He was not in pre-trial detention, so when the full-scale war started, he decided to go to #war and fight for his #country

     Volodymyr Barandich has been making barbed wire in a penal colony near #Kyiv for the past six months.

     But now he can be released, and plans to join the #Ukrainian Armed Forces… again.
