Former artilleryman Andrii Pistolkors has opened a wooden souvenir workshop in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. He received UAH 250,000 in voucher support from the city council to help establish his business. Pistolkors served in the military during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, commanding an artillery crew and fighting in various oblasts.
After returning home at age 60, he chose to start his own business instead of continuing military service. With his background in jewelry and souvenir production, he decided to use his skills on wood and create souvenirs. Pistolkors used the voucher to purchase equipment for his workshop and began producing wooden panels depicting Vinnytsia landmarks and symbols. His goal is to create beautiful and affordable products that represent the city's history.
