During the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces under the estuary, his unit was completely destroyed, and the commander fled Lugansk. During the fighting, Sergius miraculously managed to stay alive and capture Ukrainian fighters.

After the conversation with Sergius, the Ukrainian side contacted his sister Esther, which now resides in the suburbs of Jerusalem.
