Felix Vyacheslavovich Baranitsky was born on July 28, 1989, in Chernivtsi. He studied at the Faculty of History, Political Science, and International Relations of Chernivtsi National University named after Yuri Fedkovych, where he met his future wife Angela.

After graduating from the university, Felix served in the military, and in 2015 became a volunteer in the ATO. A year later, he returned, worked as a manager in international companies, and the family's first son, Yakiv, was born.

Felix was deeply interested in military service, but his life was filled with civilian activities. He planned to remain in the military after the ATO, but always found new pursuits. In his spare time, he loved hiking, was proficient in foreign languages, including English, and cherished the time spent with family and friends.

Attractions and involvement in the war

After the start of the full-scale war, Felix went back to the front as a volunteer. Initially, he worked as an instructor at the 184th training center of the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy.

Later, Baranitsky transferred to the special forces battalion of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine 'Artan'. He participated in the defense of Bakhmut, the operation to regain the 'Boyka's towers' near Crimea, the defense of Kupiansk, and in a number of special operations on enemy territory. For his bravery and dedication, he was awarded the GUR MO award and the Golden Cross from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Felix loved his children very much. His younger son was born in 2023. He spent a lot of time with him, engaging in education. Most importantly, he was remembered as a good, reliable, brave, and strong man, faithful to his convictions. 'He was a man of deeds, not words,' his wife says.
