A mourning ceremony took place in the Rivne region to say farewell to five servicemen who gave their lives for the independence of Ukraine. Yevheniy Movchun, originally from the Zarichne community, was born on January 19, 1985. He served as a sapper in the engineering-sapper unit and died on January 7, 2026, in a Kyiv hospital after sustaining serious injuries while performing a combat mission.
Petro Dyachok, who lived in Sarny, took up arms to defend his homeland in July 2022. As a machine gunner in the airborne assault platoon of the 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade, he was killed on February 21, 2024, in the Donetsk region, bearing the call sign “Gryphon.”
Oleksandr Hrytsyuk, born in 1974 and residing in Mlyniv, was a border service inspector. He died on January 7, 2026, in the Chernihiv direction, bravely defending Ukraine from the occupiers.

With the onset of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, he once again took up arms to defend the country. He was killed on August 9, 2024, while performing a combat mission in the Kharkiv region.
