Details
For personal courage and heroism shown in the protection of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, selfless service to the Ukrainian people, I decree: to award the title of Hero of Ukraine with the award of the Order "Golden Star" to Petrychenko Pavlo Viktorovych – junior sergeant (posthumously)
Let's add
Pavlo Petrychenko mobilized to the Armed Forces in April 2022. Before the war, the sergeant was a project manager, a participant in public initiatives and an organizer of actions against police arbitrariness.
It was he who publicized gambling in the Armed Forces. The petition authored by him to restrict online casinos on March 29, 2024, collected more than 25,000 votes, which allowed it to be submitted to the President for consideration. The response to the petition was published after Petrychenko's death.
Unfortunately, on April 15, 2024, Junior Sergeant P. Petrychenko died defending the independence and territorial integrity of our state in the fight against the Russian aggressor. I would like to note that Pavlo Viktorovych, as a true patriot of his state, drew attention in the petition to the need to resolve a problem that is extremely important for society. According to the results of the meeting, the relevant bodies have developed a number of measures aimed at resolving certain problematic issues raised in the petition, which was reflected in the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of April 20, 2024 "On Counteracting the Negative Consequences of Gambling on the Internet", enacted by the Decree of the President of Ukraine of April 20, 2024 No. 234/2024
The soldier of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after Yakov Gandziuk died on April 15, 2024 in the war with Russia.
