About Andriy Shova

Andriy Shova, better known as Khrust, was killed on May 4, 2022, near the village of Prudjanka in the Kharkiv region. He was born in 1992 in the village of Verkhnі Sіnіvtsi in the Hlyboka area. He studied at the Nyzhniasynivetska school, and after graduating, received a diploma from the Chernivtsi faculty of the National Technical University 'Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute'. In civilian life, Andriy was a co-owner of a car service but decided to take up arms to defend Ukraine against Russian aggressors.

With the onset of full-scale war, Andriy took up arms to defend Ukraine from Russian occupiers. He served in the ranks of the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade 'Edelweiss', where he held the position of a shooter. Together with his comrades, he participated in the liberation of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

Tragic circumstances of death

Andriy was killed during the evacuation of the wounded in the Kharkiv region when his vehicle was blown up by a hidden mine. He was only 29 years old. Andriy's wife recalls that he always dreamed of a happy future for his children and wanted them never to see war.
