Artem is an activist of the Sumy branch of the USF. He was born and raised in the village of Mezhyrich, Lebedyn district, Sumy region. After graduating from school he entered Sumy State University, majoring in “Accounting and Taxation”. During his student years he participated in various projects. I would especially like to mention the Ukrainian-Czech project, which was aimed at developing academic mobility at the university. After that, the following year, he participated in the program of personal and professional development “Statesman”. There I learned about USF. Over the past year, he has taken on three projects organized by various USS units. After that, he decided to join the USF and in the summer of 2021 successfully completed the leadership program.

«USF is about values. I believe that freedom is one of the most important values ​​for the Ukrainian people, we have paid a great price for it. USF gives me hope that sooner or later we will be able to overcome all difficulties and reach the European standard of living and free ourselves from the care of “big brother”. The values ​​of freedom are not empty words for us. Even the word “Will” is encrypted in our coat of arms, so this is enough for me to be convinced that the Ukrainian people will never betray the values ​​of freedom.»
