Andriy Madzharov, a member of the All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine and a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, is walking a distance of 1,500 km from the Shyhyny checkpoint on the Ukrainian-Polish border to the capital of Belgium, Brussels, where the headquarters of the European Union are located.
As of today, Andriy has already covered over 190 km. In his live broadcast during the hike, the Defender notes that his journey symbolizes Ukraine's path to Europe — long, painful, but invincible.
“We are infinitely grateful to all EU countries for supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom, we will never forget it. But I am leaving so that the world can hear more. So that people can see not only the headlines, but human stories. Because war is not just a front. These are destroyed schools, these are children without parents, these are veterans without legs, but with an unbreakable heart. These are millions of Ukrainians who fight for the right to live every day,” Andriy emphasizes.
The All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine is proud of its brother and wishes him an easy path to the fulfillment of a great mission and sincere people along the way.
