At the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, in March 2014, he commanded a detachment of the 25th Airborne Brigade, which advanced to the Russian-Ukrainian border. On March 16, a column of the detachment in the Volnovasky district, near the village of Anatolia, reportedly fired upon pro-Russian activists who were obstructing the movement of the convoy to the border, without any conclusive outcome. The column was forced to spend the night in field conditions. The camp of the detachment was set up in a field, on the slope of a stream, in snowy weather. The next day, after negotiations with pro-Russian activists with the participation of local officials, the convoy was permitted to continue its movement in the direction of the Karan railway station.
