In the summer of 2022, he volunteered to be mobilized, but was rejected (due to his age). In 2023 after his 21st birthday he applied again and served voluntarily in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He served in the military unit A290 and died in the combat zone in the village of Liman, near the city of Kupiansk, Kharkiv region.
