SOT Andrii Madzharov, Ukrainian war veteran
I often got sunburned, and I had large blisters on my toes and feet, but I still had to keep going. I had no idea what awaited me the next day, because the route I had planned when I was still in Ukraine, turned out completely differently, and the maps did not show the actual situation on the roads.

But Andrii is not walking alone anymore. He says he's made friends in all the places he’s passed through and also thanks to his campaign on social media. Some of his supporters came to accompany him to the finish line and to show their patriotism.

Andrii's destination is Brussels — the capital of Belgium, but more importantly, also the European Union and NATO. 

The last stop before the finish line — the town of Kraainem, 8 kilometers from Brussels. This is where his new friends are waiting for him. 

A special welcome by the mayor of the town, who — surprise! — speaks Ukrainian!

SOT Bertrand Waucquez, Mayor of Kraainem
I think that Europe and Europeans should understand that Ukraine is defending not only itself, but also the whole of Europe.

Time to head off to the final stop…

— Why did you choose Brussels? 
— It is the center of global decision-making regarding the European continent, partner countries, and Ukraine, both in this war and beyond. 

The veteran wanted to show the world that Ukrainian spirit is unbreakable — and here he is, after 93 days on the road! 

ATMO — Cheers, chants and posing at the Berlaymont

SOT Andrii Madzharov, Ukrainian war veteran
Tired but undefeated, just like Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Everything is for the sake of victory, so there is still a lot of work ahead. My brain hasn't quite caught up with the fact that I've made it, so I'm just feeling calm. But I'm happy that I won't have to walk such long distances anymore.

Now Andrii is preparing to meet with some members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers in Brussels.
