Ternopil region serviceman captured while seriously wounded returns home after four years in captivity

His mother, Olha Chverenchuk, said this in a comment to an Ukrinform correspondent. "My son took part in fierce fighting on the Lyman axis. That was where he was captured in September 2022. Andrii had a serious wound. He spent six months in hospital," the woman said. According to Chverenchuk, the circumstances of her son's capture are recounted in the documentary "6th Company." In the film, his fellow servicemen explain that on September 25, two groups of ten men each set out to assault Lyman but fell into an ambush. Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian servicemen. Andrii was wounded and remained in an M113 armored personnel carrier with a fellow soldier. The two began fighting.
