Auto sports commentator Setanta Vyacheslav Kobrzhitsky has died in Donetsk region

Today it became known that a well-known auto sports commentator Setanta Vyacheslav Kobrzhitsky died while defending Ukraine in the Donetsk region. This was reported by sports journalist Vitaliy Volochay.

Vyacheslav Kobrzhitsky, my colleague, auto sports commentator of Setanta, gave his life defending Ukraine in Donetsk region. Glory mobilized in the Armed Forces a while ago, and asked us in a chat of Setanta commentators 'Don’t be sad without me.' Heroes do not die.

This loss is already the second in the last few days. I would like to remind you that at the beginning of this week, 28-year-old boxer Volodymyr Mandzyuk from Ternopil region also died. He was also fighting in Donbas, defending our country.

In the Mykulyntsi territorial community, it was reported that Volodymyr died on April 9, 2025, during an operational combat mission in Sumy region.

During his life, Volodymyr Mandzyuk was multiple champion and prize-winner of all-Ukrainian and international boxing tournaments. He became famous for his victories, which he achieved for his community and Ternopil region.

These two losses are losses of people who gave their lives protecting the Motherland, mournful and irreparable. Their heroism and dedication are hard to express even in words.
