Sad news in Sokalska hromada again… V
Hero Polikha Vasyl Serhiyovych, born in 1987, a resident of the village of Khorobriv, was killed.
Vasyl became an orphan at an early age after losing his father. In 2006, he was called up for military service, and after
graduation, he worked on a farm.
In 2015, he went to defend the land from the enemy and participated in the ATO.
After the full-scale invasion, in 2022, he rejoined the Armed Forces of Ukraine and defended his country. He served in the military unit A-0536 in the 53rd Brigade as a grenade launcher soldier of the 3rd mechanised division of the 1st mechanised platoon. He liberated Kherson, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Luhansk region.
He was wounded seven times… He was awarded two medals.
He fought his last battle on 30 April 2025 in the Serebryansky forest, near the village of Shypylivka, Severodonetsk district, Luhansk region.
Great sadness, pain and despair. Young, full of strength and energy, he would have lived and lived, started a family, procreated, and the damned war ended his life. We express our sincere condolences to his mother Natalia, sister Oksana, brother-in-law Vasyl, niece Svitlana and goddaughter Yulia, grandmother Volodymyr and the entire family.
The funeral service for the body of the Hero Vasyl Polikha will be held tomorrow, 02 July, at 12.00 am, near the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Sokal. Then the funeral cortege will go to the village of Khorobriv, where the parastasis and burial ceremony will take place.
Eternal memory to the HERO!
