The defender, whose family lives in the Stryi district, was awarded the Order ‘For Courage’ III degree. Unfortunately, posthumously.
Dmytro Shatokhin, born in the city of Beryslav, Kherson region, sent his family to the Novorozdil community at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, while he joined the Defense Forces.
The warrior served as a senior flamethrower operator in the flamethrower unit of the radiation, chemical, and biological protection platoon. He died in December 2023 during an enemy shelling in the Kharkiv region.
Eternal memory and glory to the Hero. Sincere condolences to the family.
