Anton says he has always been willing to pick up arms and fight for Ukraine.
He recently got his wish, receiving a letter calling him into military service in his country’s battle with Russia.“I am going to the army,” the 29-year-old coffee shop manager from Kyiv told The Canadian Press in a phone interview.
Anton worked last month as an interpreter for The Canadian Press. Members of the Ukrainian military are discouraged from revealing their last names for the safety of their family members in the country. Anton manages an upscale coffee shop just steps from Independence Square and hopes to own his own cafe someday. He has lived in the capital all his life and has a fondness for the music of Frank Sinatra.He has been told to report Monday to a military checkpoint to begin his military career before heading to a remote area for training.
“I’ve bought by myself about five body armours and about two or three helmets to give to soldiers,” he says.Niekazakov says fundraising to buy protection and even guns for Ukrainian soldiers is common as those from poor families don’t have an opportunity to get help.
