“CHIP”

Andrii was a member of the civic organization “SLON” — an inseparable part of the SLON family. Andrii began his combat path on 24 February 2022. After joining the 129th Brigade, he took part in the liberation and defense of Kherson region, Donetsk region, Sumy region, and in the Kursk operation. In the last months of his service, he served in the 101st Separate Territorial Defense Brigade. He started as an ordinary soldier, but always strove for more — he studied new specializations and mastered new skills. From the first days, Andrii said he would not sit on the sidelines; he wanted to be useful to his country. He was a heroic person — not a media figure, but well known within his circle. Talented, creative, and cheerful, he was the soul of the group. In the hardest moments, he found the right words to support others and raise morale. He had enough energy for everyone. He was so strong and resilient that no circumstances could break him. He was one of a hundred. He was awarded the medal “For the Defense of Ukraine”. He was submitted for the state award “For Courage” — sadly, posthumously… This is an immeasurable loss for the family, for the collective, and for all of Ukraine.
