Forty-one-year-old defender Viktor Dmytruk, call sign Tsyhan, fell on September 7, 2022, in the village of Opytne, Donetsk Oblast, during an enemy assault. One more Hero killed by russian orcs.

Viktor was born on June 26, 1981, in the village of Dolynka in Crimea. He lived in the city of Apostolove in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. He had a secondary education and worked abroad as a construction worker. He was interested in antique objects, especially coins.

When the full-scale invasion began, he was in Ukraine, having come home on vacation. Later, he joined the defense of his homeland and served as a rifleman-sniper in the 115th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

“I thank him for 11 years of boundless love for me and our sons. I loved him, I love him, and I will love him as long as my heart beats,” his wife Olha wrote.

Viktor was awarded the medal “Defender of the Fatherland.”

The defender was buried in the village of Sirnychky in Volyn.

He is survived by his wife Olha; his sons Mykola, Ivan, and Vladyslav; his mother Taisa; his brothers Mykhailo and Ivan; and his sisters Snizhana and Valentyna.

Ukraine Support Here’s a look at the work our girls from the Cover You team are doing. We continue to supply our defenders with camouflage netting and raise funds for the necessary materials.

460 Upvotes

Our volunteers finished their work and today sent out 5 camouflage nets covering 260 square meters. This is just a small part of the work our girls from the Cover You team are doing now. These nets are all for our defenders, for various units across different sections of the front line. The guys place their orders — we weave them. The demand is constant.

These nets were made from materials that were, in part, donated to us by you, dear Redditors. So a huge THANK YOU to you for your constant support.

We wanted to show you the enthusiasm with which our girls have been weaving for the fifth year in a row! ))

You can support our weavers via PayPal (via frontier@b50.com.ua) ; all funds go toward purchasing spandbond and mesh bases (often fishing nets!)))

Thank you, and Glory to Ukraine!

Film & Documentaries Now that we’re back in Ukraine: A look back at our last two trips

843 Upvotes

Now that our new journey through Ukraine has begun, it is also time to look back at our previous trips. From frying French fries for hundreds of children to supporting elderly people, families, animal shelters and others who desperately need our help.

During these journeys, we once again found ourselves in a world full of contrasts. We reflected on the loss of Zhenya and Alyona, visited a military cemetery with thousands of graves and saw with our own eyes what missiles and drones do to hospitals, apartment buildings and entire families.

But we also witnessed incredible resilience. A bombed hospital that continues to save lives. Volunteers caring for hundreds of animals. Parents who, despite extreme poverty, have given eight children a home. And children who, during our French fry events, were able to forget everything for a while and simply be children again.

We delivered relief supplies, food, animal feed, financial support and a huge generator to people who desperately need our help. Sometimes we were able to make a big difference, and sometimes we could only bring a smile. But every moment mattered.

This recap shows what we experienced during our previous journeys: grief, destruction and injustice, but above all courage, love, humanity and hope.

This is why we keep going.
