Andriy Shevchenko, a 31-year-old resident of Drohobych, died while performing combat missions to protect Ukraine from the enemy.
The sad news was reported in the Drohobytsk City Council.
Andriy Shevchenko was born on February 10, 1992. Lived in Drohobych. Graduated from Secondary School No. 4 and VPU No. 19.
In 2018, Andriy signed a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and went to work at VCH A-1108, where he was a chemical driver. In 2021, a resident of Drohobych resigned from the service. But as soon as the full-scale invasion began, he again voluntarily joined the ranks of the defenders of Ukraine.

Unfortunately, on March 13, 2023, the defender died while honorably performing his military duty. Since then, a long search for the body continued, and later – DNA tests to confirm the identity of the deceased.
Hero’s family members include his father, mother, wife, son, sister and grandmother.
