The death of a serviceman born in 1991 was confirmed by the village chairman of the Railways, Andriy Noha. He expressed his condolences to the defender’s family, friends and relatives.
“Unfortunately, it is difficult to heal the painful wound of loss in the heart with words. After all, the death of a loved one is a great test. The death of our soldier who was captured in the Donetsk region has been confirmed: the other day he was mercilessly shot by Muscovites,” the village mayor noted.
Judging by the message, the Russians have not yet returned the body of the murdered man. “The date and time of the meeting of the deceased hero will be announced additionally,” Noha added.
