Stood to Defend Ukraine from the Beginning of the ATO. Remembering Andriy Stupak.

Every day at 9 am, Ukrainians honor the memory of all those whose lives were taken by the Russo-Ukrainian war. Today, we remember Andriy Stupak.

On October 27, 2024, while performing a combat mission in the area of Novodmytrivka, Donetsk region, Andriy sustained injuries incompatible with life. This was reported by the Kamianka-Buzka City Council.

Andriy Stupak was born on February 27, 1980. A brave warrior, he chose the military path back in 1998, beginning his conscript service in the Ukrainian army. Andriy stood to defend the Motherland from the beginning of the ATO/OSS and remained faithful to the military oath until the end of his days.

"His courage, dedication, and love for the Motherland will remain in the memory of all who knew him. Andriy was an example of strength and bravery, a true patriot ready to fight for his state," wrote the Kamianka-Buzka city community.

As noted by the community, his decisiveness and willingness to help others inspired all who knew Andriy.

"Master Sergeant Andriy Stupak was not only a professional military man but also a patriot who always stood to protect those he loved. His bravery in battle, decisiveness, and willingness to help others inspired not only his comrades but also all who knew him," added the community.

October 29-30 has been declared Days of Mourning in the community.

Andriy Stupak is forever 44 years old… The defender leaves behind a wife, three sons, a mother, and a brother.

"Glavkom" joins the minute of silence. We honor the memory of all Ukrainians who died fighting for the Motherland. We remember those who fell at the hands of Russian invaders, light memorial candles, and bow our heads in sorrow during the nationwide minute of silence, honoring the bright memory of the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the state: all the military, civilians, and children, all who perished in the struggle against Russian occupiers and as a result of the enemy forces' attack on Ukrainian cities and villages.
