- In the spring of 2014, Mykhailo Zabrodskyi went to fight in the ATO [anti-terrorist operation] zone. Under his command, the 95th Airmobile Brigade carried out the task of blocking the cities of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk and held an important stronghold — Mount Karachun. In 2015, he commanded Ukrainian forces during the battles for Maryinka, and became the commander of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
