Details
This morning, structural elements collapsed while a fire in Sumy was being extinguished after a Russian UAV strike. The head of the shift of the rapid response department of the regional emergency management center of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Sumy region, 30-year-old Oleksii Stoliarenko, was injured under a concrete slab.
Doctors fought for his life. But they were unable to save him.
Today, we lost not just a rescuer. We lost a brother-in-arms, a friend, a colleague. A person who faced danger every day to help others. His wife and young daughter were waiting for him at home. To them, he was not a shift commander or a hero in uniform. He was a husband, a father—the most precious person. This pain cannot be measured in words
He added that Russia continues to take the lives of Ukrainians. It takes the young, the strong, the courageous. It takes those who come to save others.
Oleksii, like our other fallen colleagues, gave his life saving people. Their feat will remain with us forever!
