Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr Kravets from Drohobych has joined the ranks of the Heavenly Battalion. Since December 2022, he had been defending Ukraine, fighting for its freedom and integrity. Born on February 20, 1967, Volodymyr lived in Drohobych, where he studied at School No. 4 and the Oil Technical School. After his education, he worked in the repair industry.
During the full-scale invasion, he voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine in December 2022. Initially, he served in the mortar battery of the 67th Battalion of the 103rd Brigade of Territorial Defense, and later in the 67th Separate Motorized Brigade on the frontline.
Unfortunately, during his service, Volodymyr became seriously ill and was hospitalized. Treatment continued at the Stebnyk Hospital, but unsuccessfully. On the night of March 27, his life came to an end.
Volodymyr will be remembered by his son, grandchildren, brother, and other relatives. The Drohobych City Council along with Mayor Taras Kuchma express their condolences to the family of the fallen Hero.
A farewell ceremony will be held today at 18:00 in the chapel of the church of the Martyr Saints Severyn, Yakym, and Vitaliy. The funeral is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:30 in the same church, followed by burial in the Alley of Fame.
