The demise of Serhiy Palychuk near Bakhmut: the story of the defender with the call sign 'Okun'.

In memory of the heroes

According to inkorr.com: Every day at 9 AM, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who lost their lives during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Today we remember Serhiy Palychuk.

Serhiy Palychuk, a defender, was killed on January 5, 2024, in the village of Bohdanivka in the Bakhmut district of Donetsk region. His parents moved to the Chernivtsi region when he was young, and later settled in the Zaporizhzhia region. Serhiy served in Kazakhstan, and with the onset of the war, he decided to become a volunteer in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among his comrades, his call sign was 'Okun', reflecting his passion for fishing.

Serhiy's death occurred as a result of a drone strike on a machine gun nest. He passed away just days before his 53rd birthday. He left behind a wife, a son, four daughters, and five grandchildren.

A man with a big heart. A friend who always came to the aid of those in need. The soul of the company. This is how Serhiy Palychuk is remembered by his family. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, he fulfilled his duty as a citizen and patriot with honor and dignity.

'Hlavkom' joins in a moment of silence, expressing respect for the fallen soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives for Ukraine's freedom. We honor all heroes who died due to the war with Russian occupiers.

Honoring the memory of the fallen is an important part of the national consciousness of Ukrainians. It serves as a reminder of the heroism and self-sacrifice of those who fight for their country. Serhiy Palychuk is one of many who gave his life for our freedom. His story underscores the value of human life and the courage of those who stood to defend the Motherland.
