Artem played for the Mariupol youth soccer club, and he wanted to be a professional soccer player.

Artem’s dream was to dedicate his life to soccer. On March 2nd, 2022, he went to the local field to play a scrimmage match with his friends. While they were warming up, a Russian drone dropped a grenade on the field. Artem’s best friend Ilya, a boy of 15, was killed. Artem and another boy were severely injured. As a result of the injuries, Artem’s left leg was amputated above the knee, and his right leg is paralyzed. Artem’s dream is now to be able to walk again.
