"My three kids were not a reason for me to defer, but a reason to mobilize as soon as possible"
From the first days of the war, the Zaporizhstal employee joined the ranks of The Armed Forces of Ukraine, and after demobilisation, he continues to work at the enterprise.Valentyn Mikhov, Zaporizhstal BF Shop PCI area foreman, is an experienced process man who dedicated to the enterprise near 12 years. He started his career at the enterprise as a conveyor operator and bit by bit made his career path. However, the full-scale war made adjustments to his plans and goals. On 25 February 2022, the man volunteered to defend Ukraine."By that time, I already had three kids and had all the legal grounds for deferment and leaving abroad. But how could I? When the enemy was treacherously attacking, killing civilian Ukrainians, destroying people's lives, levelling our cities to the ground, rapidly approaching our homes, I could not stand aside. I provided my family with everything they needed, quickly arranged a shelter and food supplies, and went to the recruitment centre", Valentyn recalls.Tog
