As a result of an FPV drone attack in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Sergei Fedoruk with the pseudonym Lukich was killed.. Before the full-scale invasion, he worked for many years as a teacher in a rural school in Volyn. The tragedy occurred on January 26, 2026.

The press officer of the 100th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Khominsky, reported the death of a military man on February 1 in a commentary to Suspilny Donbass. He clarified the circumstances of the incident and the date of death.

“Sergei Fedoruk died on January 26, 2026 as a result of an FPV drone attack,” said Sergei Khominsky.

Back in October, Sergei Fedoruk spoke with journalists from the Public Donbass and talked about his civilian life. He noted that he worked for 32 years in a rural school in Volyn, where he taught geography and chemistry. There were three generations of teachers in his family - his mother, himself, his wife and daughter.

In October 2025, a military man said that school knowledge had become useful in war. Geography helped to navigate the terrain, and chemistry helped when working with explosives.

Sergei Fedoruk served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the first days of a full-scale war, led an engineering unit and carried out tasks in the Donetsk region. At that time, 59-year-old Lukich said that he dreams of returning to a peaceful life and working again as a teacher..
