And again we raise the heroes to the shields…
The Horodotsk community is in mourning. News has arrived about another Ukrainian defender’s life cut short by the war… On December 6, 2023, a native of the village of Bratkovichi, Sergeant Yurii Mykhailovych Chornyi (born on May 7, 1978) died while defending his native land.
The sad news was announced today in the Horodotsk City Council.
A soldier of the 33rd separate mechanized brigade received non-life-threatening injuries as a result of enemy mortar fire. Our compatriot lay down in the Zaporozhye direction.
The burning pain of loss envelops the hearts of everyone who knew Yuri. We express our condolences to the Hero’s relatives: wife Natalya, daughter Sofia, son Igor, mother, sisters, brother.
Eternal memory to the defender and a low bow for the supreme sacrifice for Ukraine and the native people.
We will inform you later about the arrival of the funeral cortege and the serviceman’s burial ceremony.
