10 years of war, recruit training and myths about service. The story of Charter's chief sergeant Volyniaka

This spring, amid the reform of the Defense Forces into a corps system, the 13th Charter Brigade was scaled up to the second corps of the NGU, and its chief sergeant Dmytro (Volyniaka) Hrytsiuk became the corps' chief sergeant.

Dmytro's pseudonym Volyniak was given to him by the brigade's former chief sergeant and fellow countryman Oleksandr (Kapa) Yushchenko. It was he who laid the "sergeant's foundation" for the Charter. In April 2024, Kapa was tragically killed while performing a combat mission. Hrytsiuk succeeded him and continued the work.

The last ten years of Volyniaka's life have been directly related to the war and the army, which he joined as a volunteer. And also with constant training and improvement of knowledge: both his own and his personnel's. Recently, Hrytsiuk became one of the heroes of the campaign "Grow up in the Charter", who motivate those who have not yet decided to join the corps.
