Ukrainian actor Yegor Kozlov has joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was revealed in an interview with journalist Alina Dorotiuk, published by the entertainment project Styler (RBC-Ukraine), by his wife, actress Yuliya Buinovska, known for her roles in the TV series 'Kriposna', 'Parochka slidchykh', and 'Budinochok na shchastya'. The artist described the circumstances of her husband's mobilization and shared her anxieties regarding his military service.
Circumstances of Mobilization
According to Buinovska, Kozlov was mobilized after his draft exemption (bron) was revoked. At the time he was taken, the actor was reportedly driving home. 'He was mobilized. There was an exemption, it was revoked, he was driving home, and they took him. And that’s it,' the actress shared in the interview.
Family Reaction
The actress did not hide the fact that the news of her husband's service has been a difficult trial for her. She admitted that she was very afraid of this moment, although she understood Yegor's position and knew that sooner or later it could happen. 'Yegor is now a serviceman... I was very afraid of this, truly very afraid. He has his opinion on this matter, I have mine. Well, that's normal, we all understood, we were just waiting for our time. Well, I didn't want this,' the actor's wife shared.
Connection to Family History
Buinovska noted that the topic of military service is personally painful for her and is connected to her father, who voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, while carrying out a combat mission, sustained severe injuries, spent a long time in a coma, and underwent several surgeries. According to the actress, the news of her husband's mobilization brought back the anguish associated with her father. At the same time, she emphasized that she is proud of her husband and considers his intelligence and abilities to be important qualities for military service.
Support and Hopes
Despite her fear, the actress supports Kozlov's decision and hopes for the main thing — that he remains safe and returns home. 'In the first days, of course, it was scary because nothing was clear, but no matter where he ends up, he is the best everywhere!' she said. 'Excuse me, I know this is a painful topic for everyone, it's just personally my painful topic connected with dad... But everything is fine. He is just very smart, such people need to be there... Everything will be fine, I just want him to be close,' Buinovska added.
