He was awarded the Medal For Military Service to Ukraine (2022).[2]

Biography

Dmytro Kozatsky was born in Malyn on 11 November 1995.[1]

In 2014, he left the Rzeszów University of Information Technology and Management (Poland) to become a participant in the Revolution of Dignity. He is currently a student at the National University of Ostroh Academy.[3][4]

In 2015 he joined the National Guard of Ukraine, and later joined the Azov Battalion.[4]

Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022)

Since 2015, he has been a defender of Mariupol in the Donetsk region. During the Siege of Mariupol from 1 March 2022, together with other colleagues, he held the defense at the Azovstal plant.[4]

As the head of the press service of the Azov Battalion, he published 10 photos of wounded colleagues from the field hospital at the plant, which were shared around the world.[4] One of the photos, in which the young man falls under the rays of the May sun, falling inside the destroyed premises of the enterprise through a hole pierced by shells, was called "Light will win."[4]

To the sound of explosions, he sang the song "Stefania" by the Kalush Orchestra, which brought Ukraine victory in the Eurovision 2022 song contest.[3]

On 20 May 2022, before being taken prisoner, Dmytro Kozatskyi published a post on his Twitter: “Well, that's all. Thank you for shelter Azovstal – the place of my death and my life. By the way, while I am in captivity, I will leave you photos in the best quality, send them to all journalistic awards and photo contests, if I win something, it will be very nice after the release. Thank you all for your support. See you.”[5] On the same day, the Vice Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Olena Kondratyuk stated that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine would send photos of Dmytro Kozatskyi to all parliaments of Europe and the world that are on Ukraine's side.[6] The film association Babylon'13 published a video of the "Mariupol Fortress. The last day in Azovstal", filmed by Dmytro.[7]

He was released from Russian captivity in late September 2022 when 215 Ukrainian military prisoners were exchanged for Viktor Medvedchuk among others.[1][8] He appeared on Andrea Mitchell Reports, MSNBC on November 2, 2022.[9]

Controversy

He has been accused by Anatoly Shariy and Kayla Popuchet of social media posts displaying symbols tied to Neo-Nazi ideology.[8]

In October 2022, several photos from Kozatskyi's photo series The Light Will Win were included in an exhibition at the Ferraté Library at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. On November 13, 2022, Kozatskyi's work was removed from the exhibition and the University released a statement which stated it "wasn't aware of the ideology of the author", and that the university "rejects Nazism and regrets the situation created".[8][13][14] Also on November 13, 2022, Kozatskyi was heckled by protestors at Doc NYC where he was an invited speaker. The protestors were forcibly removed.[8][15]
