🇺🇦 Rest in Eternal Peace Mykhailo.🇺🇦

When the Russian-Ukrainian war began, Mykhailo Chuprin joined Azov. He was a gunner in a tank unit.

Took part in the battles for Shyrokyne in Donetsk region in 2015. At first, the soldier was appointed a tank commander, and eventually became an officer, in September 2020 he headed a company.

From the first days of the full-scale war, Mykhailo defended Mariupol.

The tankers of the Chupa company repelled 8 attempts to break through the defenses, and in incredibly difficult conditions, they withstood enemy fire from artillery and Grad rocket systems.

They destroyed a lot of equipment and manpower of the enemy.
The heroic actions of his unit significantly slowed down the pace of the enemy's advance towards the city.

Mykhailo died in an overturned tank in March 2022. When he realized that the equipment could not move, but could still fire, he continued to shoot. Gunner Ruslan Zhivolup also stayed with him.

In the end, an enemy strike took the lives of the soldiers.

Senior Lieutenant Chuprin was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine.
