want to share with you some stories of Ukrainians who are now defending us on the frontlines. I'll start with the famous Ukrainian drone captain with the call sign "Madiar". Before the full-scale war, an agrarian businessman, Robert Brovdi. He was also engaged in investments in industrial projects and real estate. Back then, he could not have imagined that he would become the commander of a regiment of unmanned aviation systems and would be so good at destroying Russian soldiers. On February 7, 2022, Robert volunteered to join the 241st Territorial Defense Brigade in the Obolonskyi District of Kyiv. He was quickly appointed platoon commander. Brovdi took part in the evacuation of people from Irpin and carried out combat missions in Bucha and Borodianka. At the end of April, his unit was sent to the front line in the Kherson direction. He bought a drone at his own expense and began to survey the front line. Later, he created a separate aerial reconnaissance unit, which he called "Madiar's Birds." Brovdi compares his activities in the army to a business in sales. You set a goal - to find and identify the enemy, inform the artillery, and destroy the enemy. Another similarity with business is that the result depends on people, on the team. The difference, according to "Madyar," is that in war, you cannot give free rein to feelings - to be offended by someone, to leave issues unresolved. "Unlike a business, you can't underfulfill, underdo something, and have your emotions get the better of your cool head," he says. Life is very unpredictable. Negotiations and bargaining around Ukraine are going on now, and no one knows exactly at what point we will find ourselves in half a year. With negative forecasts, many Europeans may very suddenly find themselves in the trenches defending their country against the Russians.
