After leaving the territory of the metal plant, Mykhailo did not get proper medical care in Russian captivity.
It was possible to bring the fighter back home during a large exchange of prisoners of war on 21 September. Ukrainians began to raise funds for Mykhailo's treatment: he handed over this sum [over US£81mln] to the Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal.
Recently, Mykhailo said that he appeared on the cover of the inclusive calendar from the Armed Forces of Ukraine for 2023.
