In Kyiv, a rescue worker who set a Ukrainian record was injured during a Russian attack

Rescue worker Volodymyr Skovorodka, who set a Ukrainian record several years ago by running more than 60 kilometers in full combat gear, was injured in the Russian attack on Kyiv.

“Among those wounded in the capital is rescue worker Volodymyr Skovorodka. He is known as the athlete who set a Ukrainian record. A few years ago, in memory of his fallen colleagues, Volodymyr ran more than 60 kilometers in full combat gear. Today, he was helping the victims when he himself came under fire again,” Ivan Vygivskyi reported.

Volodymyr Skovorodka was wounded while on duty following a Russian strike. The rescue worker was at the scene helping people who had been injured in the attack.

At the same time, Volodymyr Skovorodka is known not only as an employee of the State Emergency Service but also as an athlete. Several years ago, he set a Ukrainian record by running over 60 kilometers in full combat gear. The rescuer dedicated his run to the memory of his fallen colleagues.
