In the village of Khlivchany in the Belz community, a farewell ceremony was held for Defender of Ukraine Mykhailo Petrovych Bihun. A funeral cortege arrived in the village, where fellow villagers, relatives, friends and the serviceman’s comrades-in-arms gathered to meet it.
People with flowers and vigil candles accompanied Mykhailo Bihun on his final journey. He served in the ranks of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and after the start of the full-scale invasion he once again took up the defence of the Motherland. The soldier carried out combat missions, in particular in the Bakhmut sector, where he was wounded.
After years of service and struggling with the consequences of his injury, Mykhailo Bihun found his final resting place in his native land, in Khlivchany. The community emphasises that the memory of his life path and his devotion to Ukraine will be preserved here.
The Belz community expressed its sincere condolences to the relatives of the fallen Defender and wished them strength to endure their loss. Bright memories of Mykhailo Bihun, the community notes, will remain a source of support for his loved ones.
In connection with the burial of Defender of Ukraine Mykhailo Bihun, 29 October has been declared a Day of Mourning in the Belz city territorial community in accordance with the order of the mayor.
