The story of Melnichuk and his path in the US armed forces was told by the publication of the US Air Force as part of the “Face of Defense” initiative, writes Voice of America.

Melnichuk moved from the Ukrainian Kolomyya to the New York borough of Brooklyn at the age of 13 and recalls his childhood years like this: “In Kolomyya everyone knew each other. We lived near the mountains, and so I often picked berries and went hiking, which is very popular in Ukraine.”

“My father was an anesthesiologist and my mother was a pediatrician. They didn't earn much, so we barely had enough to live on. Part of the reason was that it was about the future—mine and my brother's. I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now if my parents hadn’t made sure that we moved here,” the publication quotes Nazariya.

Knowledge of Ukrainian, Russian and English allowed Melnichuk to take part in the program for the development of languages ​​and cultures of the US Air Force.

“I speak Russian and Ukrainian fluently, so I was accepted into the program because of my Ukrainian language,” he says.

Melnichuk had the opportunity to serve in Ukraine as a translator for advisors to the partnership program with the Ukrainian military and the National University of Defense of Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian military submitted a request for support from U.S. European Command (EUCOM) and thus the EUCOM program was created to cooperate with countries that are not NATO members but are NATO partners, such as Ukraine,” Nazariy says.

“Through this program, advisors, at the request of the Ukrainian military, supported Ukraine in achieving NATO standards,” added a Ukrainian lieutenant in the US Air Force.
