Outstanding Ukrainian scientist Boris Paton dies at 102.

This is reported by the UP with reference to the NSDC apparatus.

A state funeral commission is being formed, which will decide the main issues.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his condolences on the pages of social networks.

Metallurgist, engineer, inventor, scientist, teacher. First awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. Academician. Genius. Legend. There are many words that can be used to describe Boris Evgenievich Paton.

However, there are no words that could fully reveal the scale of his personality..

And the scale of the loss that our country has suffered today. At the age of 101, a great Ukrainian left us.

I sincerely thank fate for the opportunity in my life to have a personal conversation with Boris Evgenievich. It was a great personality. It's hard to write about him in the past tense. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Boris Evgenievich.

Everlasting memory!
