Hero’s mother thanked everyone for the kind memory of her son and added that his dedication and courage will always be an example for future generations.
“Today, the best of us – boys and girls of different generations – are fighting evil. Many of them have not returned. Andriy, having defended his master’s thesis in 2022, realized that he had to go to defend his country. The boy stood up for the defense of Ukraine in April 2023. He was a great source of pride and support for his family and those around him!” emphasized Volodymyr Velykochy, Dean of the Faculty of Tourism.
Eternal memory and glory to the Ukrainian soldier who defended his native Ukraine and each of us!
