Ukrainians know Maksym Nelipa as a bright host and talented actor of humorous shows. He started his career with KVN, but he gained real popularity with the projects "Who is there?" on 1+1, "Lose a million" on ICTV and the morning show "Pidйом" on the New Channel.

And at the beginning of 2025, the actor was wounded, underwent operations and rehabilitation, and then returned to his brothers and continued his service.
