Taras Haiduk, a 31-year-old graduate of the Ukrainian Catholic University, died in the battles for Ukraine. Friends and acquaintances of Taras write about it on social networks.
«The war is taking away the best. Their best sons. I had the honour to study with you, gain experience and knowledge. UCU student. Thank you for your love for Ukraine, for your position in life and for your bright soul, « – says Orest Kohut.
«We met in September 2016 during the postgraduate exams at the Faculty of History. He could have become a talented scientist, but he chose to defend the Fatherland as his mission. Smiling, erudite, principled. This is how he will forever be remembered. Rest in peace, friend,» – Konstantin Kutsov wrote.
According to UCU, Taras Haiduk was a graduate of the Master’s program in History of the Ukrainian Catholic University (2015). Farewell to the Hero of Ukraine will most likely take place on Friday, March 11, at 1:00 pm on the Hill of Fame in Uzhhorod.
It will be recalled that on March 9, in the Garrison Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, people said goodbye to three servicemen who died for Ukraine in the battle with the Russian occupiers – Vasyl Vyshyvanyi, Dmytro Kotenko and Kyrylo Morozov. On March 8, the community of the Lviv region paid their last respects to two soldiers of the 80th separate assault brigade Viktor Dudar and Ivan Koverznev, who rested at Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv.
