Colonel Kolodii has actively participated in combat operations in eastern Ukraine since 2014, taking part in the liberation of settlements from the occupiers.

We thank the state for recognizing Colonel Eduard Kolodii’s significant contribution to defending Ukraine’s independence, as well as his combat experience and leadership as Commander of the 79th Air Assault Brigade of the 7th Rapid Response Corps.

His brothers-in-arms and all personnel of the “Seven” congratulate Colonel Eduard Kolodii on this well-deserved honor!

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!
