In October 2024, Ivan was mobilized into the Armed Forces of Ukraine and served in the Sumy region. During mortar shelling, he was seriously wounded, resulting in the loss of his left lower limb.
After amputation, Ivan underwent treatment and began active rehabilitation. Today, he is adapting to a modern prosthetic left leg, working hard on his recovery, and gradually returning to an active life.
Despite the trials he has endured, Ivan is making plans for the future — he dreams of realizing his professional potential and opening his own tattoo parlor, striving for a full and independent life.
