Famous Ukrainian singer Vitaliy Kozlovsky served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard. As reported by the Land Forces Command, by order of the Chief of the General Staff dated May 23, 2024, he was appointed to the position of a reserve soldier of the 3rd reserve platoon of the 90th reserve company of the military unit A4718. The artist arrived at the unit on June 17, 2024.
