“SVIAT”

A young, experienced, exemplary warrior. A faithful son of his Motherland, and a reliable brother within the collective. At the age of 22, he served as an assault infantryman and squad leader of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade. With the start of the full-scale invasion, despite his age, Sviat joined the Defense Forces without hesitation to protect his family and friends, and the idea of an independent, united Ukraine. He had more than a dozen combat deployments and assaults behind him, with enemy forces destroyed or taken prisoner. He never chased awards. For him, the most important achievement was always a free Ukraine. His eyes burned with professionalism and devotion to his work. With a weapon in his hands, he fought to the very end. On January 5, 2025, during one of the battles in Kursk Oblast, with enemy forces holding the advantage, Viacheslav went missing in action. In the turbulence of change and uncertainty, the memory of our brother-in-arms—by spirit, by blood, and by weapon—will live forever. Honor! 🫡
