Volodymyr was born in Ukraine, but moved to Canada with his family in 1991. Despite the distance, he has always been close to his homeland, following its development and rejoicing in every victory and change. On the eve of the full-scale invasion, Volodymyr had a long conversation with a friend from Ukraine about the possible threat, and the next morning he received a video from him of the first explosions. The war in his homeland was painful from afar, so in 2025 he decided to come to Ukraine to see everything with his own eyes and support its reconstruction. Because he believes: Ukraine has a great and worthy future ahead of it.
