Stories that truly embody the meaning of resilience are not always loud. More often, they are about daily struggle, dignity, and the choice to keep moving forward no matter what.
In March, 24-year-old Dmytro Levchenko, a resident of the Pokrovsk district of the Kryvorizka community, turned to the employment service. Before the war, he worked as an agricultural machinery operator — he understood the equipment, loved his job, and confidently built his future.
The war changed everything.
While serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro sustained severe injuries and lost both legs. After a long period of treatment, rehabilitation, and prosthetics, it became clear that he would not be able to return to his previous job. However, the most important thing remained — his desire to be useful and to work.
Specialists understood his needs and began searching for a solution — one that would allow Dmytro to stay in a familiar field and continue working with machinery.
A thorough selection of vacancies among local employers was carried out. One of them, Kolos LLC, did more than just offer a job — the company created a new position specifically for the veteran.
Today, Dmytro works as an assistant mechanic. He handles documentation, keeps records of equipment, and monitors employees’ working hours. It is a different job with new challenges, but within the same field where he feels confident.
The company plans to take advantage of a state compensation program for employing people with war-related disabilities. This is another important tool that allows businesses to support veterans while continuing to grow.
Meanwhile, Dmytro continues his journey — confidently and with dignity. He is undergoing rehabilitation, adapting to new conditions, and does not give up on his dream of returning to working with machinery.
