Our party member and my comrade. One of those people who gathered at Lavrskyi on the morning of February 24 with a clear awareness that Russia must be driven out of Ukraine. At first there was the 206th battalion of the Ukrainian Revolutionary Army, and then the combat path led along other paths. Today, Serhiy is the commander of the &#8220;Seraphims&#8221; &#8211; a unit that sent more than one hundred occupiers to Kobzon&#8217;s concert. We are in constant contact with them, we know all the requests and promptly close them,&#8221; Poroshenko noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serhiy Kostynskyi thanked the fifth President for the fiber-optic drones that are being brought to the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThanks to the new drones, our combat efficiency has increased to 70%. Thank you also for the fact that we cross paths more often at the front than in the rear,\u201d said Kostynsky.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/345a1230-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another brother is Serhiy Kozak, People&#8217;s Hero of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We met back in 2014 in the ATO zone. At that time, none of us had any idea that the next meeting would be in a military hospital. During one of the battles, Serhiy led a column of armored personnel carriers that were ambushed by militants. The first blow fell on the armored vehicle in which Serhiy was. He and his comrades began to return fire. When he felt pain in his leg, he saw that it was seriously injured. The battle ended, and Serhiy was brought to the Izyum hospital, where the doctor decided not to amputate his leg. Thanks to the medical team, Serhiy Kozak returned to service after a year and a half,&#8221; Poroshenko said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As is known, despite the massive nighttime missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Poroshenko&#8217;s team arrived in Chernivtsi, where it planned to transfer a batch of equipment to one of the military units stationed in the regional center. However, as the fifth President reported,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/viyskovym-u-chernivtsiakh-zaboronyly-pryymaty-tekhniku-vid-poroshenka\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">military counterintelligence forbade accepting help from Poroshenko<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For this, we need to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Those who are in the rear should transfer the economy to military rails and not spend money on anything else.
