In the winter of 2022, Hodor's contract was already coming to an end, and he himself was at home on vacation. However, the approach of a great war was obvious to the Azov movement, so on February 24 he returned to his brothers in Mariupol. He took part in the hottest battles for the city, as a senior soldier of the "Azov" regiment. He became one of the symbols of the city's defense, because in those days, probably every Ukrainian saw photos with Volodymyr on social networks.
