It is with great sadness that we inform you that the Hero of Ukraine, Senior Lieutenant Kondor Oleh Romanovych, is returning home to his native Yavoriv district on a shield.

In 2019, he graduated with honours from the academy and began service in the 24th Separate Mechanised Brigade, where he served as a platoon commander. He took part in combat operations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Oleg was athletic, fond of basketball and technology. He was sociable and kind, but at the same time he loved honesty and justice, and respected any person.
