“Dmitry is 17 years old – he is your eldest son. In a year he will be able to mobilize. How do you look at this?” – the journalist asked.
“I’m talking to him about this. He has an interest in modern technologies. When he had a vacation, I took him to my foundation. He was engaged in the firmware of drones. This is an interesting job for a young guy who already knows how to work with a soldering iron, knows what and where to solder, how to flash, and so on,” said the volunteer. “He was driven by the realization that thanks to his work, some pilot would be safe, since he, as a drone operator, would be anonymized – the enemy won't know where the drone is launching from.”
According to Pritul, now it is important for him that his son receives a higher education. The volunteer said for the first time that his son became a student at the National Technical University “Kiev Polytechnic Institute named after Igor Sikorsky.”
“He is a first-year student at KPI. Will he want to combine this with a choice in the military direction in the future? He has a similar desire,” he added. “Don’t pull predetermined things out of me before they happen. But, in short, in our family I am the only one who supports his choice. Ultimately, it is his own decision.”
