Lviv athlete, who defended his homeland in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, died as a result of enemy artillery shelling of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region.

The sad news was announced by the mother of the deceased kickboxer Larisa Zabavchuk on her Facebook page..

" A short message about the shelling in Kramatorsk and three dead men, and in my heart - inexpressible pain and rejection of reality.

He was the best - what a son and brother can be, a faithful comrade and a worthy man. He made plans, loved life, his family, godchildren very much... I don’t know how I will live without him.

I curse those non-humans who interrupt the flight of our children. I wish the mothers of Ukraine to take care of their sons, because I did not save mine,"
