It is with profound sorrow and grief that we announce a great loss for our community.
On December 27, 2024, while performing a combat mission to defend his homeland near the village of Pokrovsk in Donetsk region, soldier Mykhailo Mykhailovych Rudy tragically lost his life. He served as a specialist in the second division of strike unmanned aerial systems of the first rifle battalion of military unit A4056.
Born in 1989 in the village of Kulichkiv, Mykhailo gave the ultimate sacrifice—his life—for the peace, freedom, and independence of Ukraine. A true patriot, he exemplified bravery and dedication to justice, leaving behind a legacy of courage and selflessness that will inspire future generations.
In this time of mourning, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Mykhailo’s family, friends, and comrades. Words cannot alleviate the grief, but his memory will live forever, and his heroic sacrifice will never be forgotten.
The date and time for the arrival of the cortege with the Defender’s body will be announced later.
Eternal glory and remembrance to the Hero of Ukraine!
