Ivan comes from the picturesque village of Koty in the Yavoriv community, but spent most of his life in Lviv. There he studied, acquired skills, made friends. He often visited his family in the village, where he also had good acquaintances. The man also loved his Motherland, so without hesitation he joined the ranks of the Armed Forces as a volunteer to defend his native home from the invaders.
Vasyl, nicknamed “Bald”, is a man with a capital letter, a brave soldier of the 63rd Brigade and a defender of Ukraine. Even at the beginning of the war in 2014, he distinguished himself by his active civic stance and patriotism, and later joined the ATO. Vasyl was born and raised in the village of Zaluzzhya, and received his education in Ivano-Frankivsk. After school, he immediately went to serve the Motherland – that was the call of his heart. After 2017, he returned to a peaceful life: he started a family, built a house, worked hard to ensure a good future for his two children. But at the beginning of 2022, he could not sit still, when the Russian army launched a full-scale offensive. Voluntarily put on the military pixel again.
We express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and relatives. Eternal memory to Heroes!
