They fought and died averting Russia’s genocide in Ukraine.
We are publishing the names and obituaries for Ukraine army servicemen who died in the war against Russia’s genocide in Ukraine. On April 16 president of Ukraine Zelensky officially announced 2500-3000 Ukraine army servicemen have been killed and around 10000 are wounded. That’s a heavy toll on Ukraine.
During the 2014-2015 war with Russia Ukraine army lost 14000 killed, 45000 wounded and in total rotating 450000 men. The figures were announced by the Minister of Internal Affairs Avakov.
Even now the casualties of Ukraine army are unbelievably high.
The list on fallen Ukraine army servicemen is not final. We don’t intend to count them. The purpose is to commemorate them, their sacrifice and their pick to fight regardless of the cost. As Ukraine have gone into counter-offensive the number of killed in action have increased dramatically.
This is our contribution to commemorate them. This list will be updated as far as there are new announcements coming.
