As of 2024, Fesenko still resides in the United States. Although he has left the country to visit his home of Ukraine many times. It is not known if he has been in active combat, but it is safe to assume he has received incoming fire from Russian forces on these trips. Ever since the conflict in Ukraine has begun he has always been supportive and often seeks out equipment and supplies to send to Ukraine in aiding the war effort. His local community is also very supportive and he often receives items from said community, mostly for free. Fesenko will send the supplies to Ukraine usually out of his own pocket. He makes no money on his transactions and often has a net loss from the shipping costs. He has helped supply everything from military style equipment and drones to clothing and medical supplies.
