-enko is a common ending for Ukrainian last names and Petro is Ukrainian first name.

No Russian Army because he was born around 1914. Otherwise, of course you would find a lot of people with -enko last name in Russian Army in WWI. Not only Russian Empire controlled most of present-day Ukraine but also parts of Poland.
