After the start of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Tkachenko voluntarily joined the ranks of the russian army. It is not specified where exactly he performed combat missions and in what rank he served.
The actor's participation in the war was previously reported by his colleague, actor Ramiz Aliyev. It is also noted that in 2025, Tkachenko publicly announced the beginning of a "new stage" in his life, and later it became known that he went to war against Ukraine.
Nikolai Tkachenko was born on September 1, 1989 in a city near Moscow. Before starting his acting career, he worked in various fields. He gained the greatest popularity thanks to his roles in russian television series, and also played in theater and cinema.
