The university community continues to support veterans who have returned to active life and professional activities after being wounded. One of them is Serhii Vasyliev, a combatant in one of the Airborne Assault Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He defended the state in Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk regions, bravely carrying out combat missions and destroying the enemy. During the last battle near the city of Bakhmut, Serhii Vasyliev was seriously wounded, resulting in the loss of his lower limb.

Despite the difficult trials, Serhii did not break down. Today, he works as a Leading Specialist in the educational and social-humanitarian work group and inspires others with his own example of strength of spirit, endurance, and resilience.

In order to maintain physical fitness and rehabilitation, another training session was held with the veteran. The training was aimed at strengthening the muscles of the back and arms, which is especially important for maintaining overall physical endurance and compensating for the load after amputation.

Together with Ihor Ostrovskyi, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Special Physical Training, Serhii performed exercises with his own weight and light weights. Particular attention was paid to controlling technique, safe range of motion, and gradually increasing the load. The work was carried out at a moderate pace, taking into account individual capabilities, well-being, and recommendations for recovery.
