Show this photo to those tired of the War. Friends, this is a soldier of the separate motorized infantry brigade named after Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky. He is very, very far from 50 years old. And he is currently defending our native land from the Enemy. He has gone through the hottest battles, he has gone through the hottest Battles. He fights with the occupiers for the sake of his children and his grandchildren. He fights with the occupiers for the sake of us. He doesn't even think about signing and leaving his Comrades. And it is thanks to him that we have the opportunity to breathe freely in a free Country. Honor and respect to the incredible Ukrainian Hero馃嚭馃嚘 Huge honor and just huge Respect馃珎

Lord, what a black grief. What a tragedy 馃挃 While defending our native land from the enemy, a prominent Ukrainian footballer - Roman Maksymiuk - died 馃槩 He played for Kyiv's "Dynamo", "Dnipro", "Volyn" and "Chornomorets".

He joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ⚔️ He was a navigator in the 25th Sicheslav Air Assault Brigade. During a terrible battle, he disappeared without a trace. For 20 months, his family lived between heaven and earth. They believed and waited. But the miracle did not happen.
