In Brovary, four soldier friends who defended Mariupol as part of the Azov Regiment and who were returning from Russian captivity during various exchanges met.
KV learned about this from a Telegram post by Brovary mayor Ihor Sapozhko.
“Their friendship began long before the full-scale invasion, then they all joined the Azov Regiment in turn, protected Mariupol together, and were captured together, after which their paths diverged,” the post says.
Brovary residents Maksym Onyipchenko, Artem Vyshnyak, Dmytro Kucheriavyi, and Dmytro Klusenko were returning to Ukraine gradually. First in May, 2023, Maksym Onyipchenko was freed. In May, 2026, Artem Vyshnyak returned from captivity. The last two, 23 and 2026 in October, were able to come home—Dmytro Kucheriavyi and Dmytro Klusenko.
As a reminder, the Kalynivska Village Council announced a tender for the major repair of the memorial complex in Krasylivka in Brovary district. The works are planned to be funded with 2,36 million hryvnias including VAT.
