At a young age, he served in the army, and in 2015, Viktor joined the defense of Ukraine during the anti-terrorist operation. After returning to civilian life, he worked for himself – traveling abroad, renovating houses and apartments.
On the second day of the full-scale invasion, Viktor volunteered to join the military. He was a respected figure among his comrades, as he had combat experience – known for his calmness and composure. Even in the toughest moments, he maintained optimism.
“He could do everything – he was a creative person. There were no tasks he couldn’t handle. He loved crafting, making jewelry from amber. He was passionate about art – he loved to paint. After returning from the war, he wanted to enroll in an institute to study rehabilitation,” said Viktor’s wife.
Unfortunately, 45-year-old Senior Sergeant Viktor Petruskevych was killed on February 16, 2025, while performing a combat mission in Donetsk region. He was considered missing in action – only now has the identity of the deceased been confirmed.
Viktor is survived by his wife, two children, father, and sister.
