Supported by Symphony Solutions, UNBROKEN Defender Returns to Fight for Peace 

Symphony Solutions continues its mission of supporting injured Ukrainian defenders as part of our collaboration with the Unbroken rehabilitation center in Lviv, Ukraine. This time, we are sharing the story of the serviceman Ruslan Kapusta with the call sign ‘The Sailor.’ Despite losing his hand while in Bakhmut, Ruslan is now ready to return to the frontlines with his new prosthetic hand. 

Ruslan ‘The Sailor’ accepted our invitation to meet up with us and share his incredible story and positive attitude. He told us about the personal sacrifices of each and every Ukrainian defending Ukraine in the frontlines. Ruslan was eager to talk about returning to his brothers in battle, certain that his new prosthetic will come “in handy”. He is already comfortable using his ‘Terminator hand’, having mastered its functionality almost instantaneously. Once back in the army, Ruslan wants to continue working with communication equipment, including Starlinks and servers, providing these crucial services of modern warfare. 

When the war started, Ruslan volunteered with local communities and the territorial defense brigades while preparing to carry out his plan to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but not before his wife and two small children were able to escape russian occupation in their hometown of Nova Kakhovka. Once Ruslan knew that his immediate family was safe, his next objective was to serve his country. A pacifist at heart, Ruslan could offer his brains and experience, having worked at sea for 11 years and specializing in radio and satellite communications. 

Ksenia Kobryn, Chief Operating Officer at Symphony Solutions, is very involved in all our charitable initiatives and oftentimes is the first to get in touch with the defenders whom we are supporting. She personally contacted Ruslan to see to it that he could start his rehabilitation at the Unbroken Rehabilitation Center as soon as possible. Later on, Ksenia helped Ruslan reunite with his wife and children in Lviv. 

We entrust these stories to you as we continue our important mission of supporting the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom from the aggressor. Watch a few snippets from our interview with Ruslan when he was visiting the Lviv office of Symphony Solutions earlier this year.
