"HRIAN"

From 2016, he served in the “Azov” Regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine. In January 2022, he left the service and focused on photography. With the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he returned to the front. As a volunteer, he took part in the battles for Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel. On 27 March 2022, he voluntarily flew by helicopter to Mariupol to help the surrounded defenders, but the route was leaked by the occupiers and the helicopter was shot down. Against all odds, he made his way to “Azovstal” and delivered a Starlink. He supported “Sokil” and “Dynamo” from the fan stands. He was killed on 8 May 2022 when an aerial bomb fell on the “Azovstal” plant during the defense of the city of Mariupol.
