This is the best summary I could come up with:
From the business of buying and selling property, he pivoted to defending it, serving in the Ukrainian armed forces amid the Battle of Kyiv, back when just about everyone thought a Russian victory was just a matter of time.
This week, however, he's engaged in warfare of a different sort — politics — even if, technically, he's supposed to be on leave and resting up for another deployment.
"I am on vacation now because I'm going to the front lines with the brigade in two weeks," he told Insider as the sun set on the Washington Monument, where earlier about 150 activists attending a pro-Ukraine advocacy summit in Washington unfurled what organizers claimed was the world's largest blue-and-yellow flag.
But he's actually working, meeting with members of Congress to share his perspective on the war and why he thinks his country's defense is still worth supporting.
It's an intervention that comes as Republicans in the House — who will control the next year's legislative agenda — are split down the middle on whether Ukraine's fight is also America's.
But a "good portion" of the $113 billion in total aid marked for Ukraine has indeed been "spent in the States, or on US personnel," according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies, a think tank in Washington.
