Details
Krotevych joined Azov in 2014 and rose from infantryman to platoon commander. He took part in key ATO/JFO combat operations and contributed to the unit's development. In 2021, he became the head of Azov's headquarters, and after the start of the full-scale invasion, he participated in the management of the defense of Mariupol.
After returning from captivity in September 2022, Krotevych began restoring the unit's combat capability and transforming it into the 12th Azov Brigade. He coordinated the brigade's actions in the battles in the Zaporizhzhia sector during the summer counteroffensive of 2023.
