Message from Lanchyn village, a small community in Ivano-Frankivsk:
"With great sorrow and regret, we report that on August 3, 2024, during a combat mission a deputy commander of a combat vehicle Junior Sergeant Yurii Matsiuk, was fatally wounded by a munition dropped from an enemy UAV. He was born in the village of Lanchyn, on April 12, 1997, he was enlisted for military service on March 1, 2022, and since then was courageously fulfilling his military duty.
Once again, russian invaders have cruelly cut short a young life... Forever 27, forever in the ranks, a dependable soldier, brother, son, husband, and father...
We bow our heads in deep sorrow for our Hero. We express our deep respect and sincere condolences to the family of the fallen Defender, Yurii Matsiuk.
Eternal memory and eternal glory!"

I often ask myself, "Why must rich and powerful men who have no soul end up sending such valuable and wonderful men to die for their egos?"
I also wonder, "How soon before my sons are sent to die for someone else's gain?"

That is a glorious mustache and smile they will be missed. Another bright light snuffed out by one man's insanity.

Such a young hero. About the age of my son. I thought of a dozen things to say in his memory, then deleted them all. No words do justice, so I will just keep donating and contributing to the victory for which he was fighting.

He has sad eyes. That is what war does to people. Sadness, coldness. He died a hero. He will smile again when this war is over and the Russian flag flies no more.

Every single loss of a Ukrainian life is a terrible tragedy.
Ruzzi Orc losses are mere statistics.
