Oleh Ihorovych Sukharev, commander of the first squad of the reconnaissance platoon of the Aidar Battalion. 22 years old, Ivano-Frankivsk.

Oleh is a true patriot and a Hero of Ukraine. A real man who went through the entire Maidan and has been in the ranks of “Aidar” since 8 May. He is a person without whom no battalion operation was carried out. The liberation of Novoaidar and the detention of 14 separatists during the elections on 25 May, the liberation of the city of Shchastia, the capture of the checkpoint in front of “Metallist”, the capture of strategically important “high-rises” and bridges, and the capture of 18 members of the “Don” special unit also did not happen without his participation.

At a terrorist checkpoint near Lutugyne in Luhansk region, he engaged in combat together with his fighters, in which almost all his comrades died. Mykhailo covered Oleh with his body, and he himself was killed. Oleh sustained severe injuries to his leg (loss of muscles) and arm (loss of muscles, nerve damage). Lying exhausted and bloodless, he was already saying goodbye to the world. But he thought that for the sake of his girlfriend, Maryana, it was still worth living. So, he held on until some general sent a helicopter.

In the helicopter, he experienced cardiac arrest twice. But the doctors saved him. First, he was taken to a hospital in Kharkiv, then to one in Kyiv, where he lay in intensive care for eight days, and many friends could not find him. Now he proudly tells that he proposed to Maryana, and asks the girl to show the ring on her finger. He talks about the 19 shrapnel pieces removed as if they were trivialities. He looks optimistically at his immobile leg, although several EXPENSIVE SURGERIES for muscle reconstruction lie ahead.

Oleh constantly needs painkillers, which cost almost 800 hryvnia for 5 ampoules. ©
