Upon the Protection of Ukraine at the Beginning of the War. Let Us Remember Vasyl Vandyura.

Every day at 9 AM, Ukrainians honor the memory of all those whose lives were taken by the Russo-Ukrainian war. Today, we remember Vasyl Vandyura.

On a shield, the defender of Ukraine, Sergeant Vasyl Vandyura (Sarmat), returned to his native village after being killed on February 28, 2025, while performing a combat mission in Luhansk region. This was reported by the Berezniv Municipal Council.

Vasyl Vandyura was born on July 25, 1972, in the village of Prisluch. He studied at the Prisluch Secondary School and then at the Sosniv Professional Technical School, where he became a certified electric welder.

«Glavkom» joins in a moment of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who have died fighting for their homeland. We remember those who fell at the hands of Russian invaders, lighting candles in memory and bowing our heads in grief during the national moment of silence, honoring the bright memory of the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: all military personnel, civilians, and children, all who perished in the struggle against Russian occupiers and as a result of the attack by hostile troops on Ukrainian cities and villages.
