For nine years fought for Ukraine and its freedom. Let's remember Yuriy Dyba.

Every day at 9 o'clock, Ukrainians honor the memory of the victims of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Today we remember Yuriy Dyba.

Yuriy Dyba, senior gunner of the first self-propelled artillery platoon, died in Donetsk region on April 13, 2025. This was reported by 'Glavkom' citing the Stryi City Council.

Yuriy Dyba was born on September 4, 1993, in Stryi. He studied at school No. 9 (now Stryi Gymnasium named after Hero of Ukraine T. Bobanych), then received an education at the Stryi Professional Art School and the National University 'Lviv Polytechnic.'

In 2016, Dyba voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He fought for Ukraine and its freedom for nine years. On April 13, 2025, he died in the area of Novodmytrivka in Donetsk region.

On April 17, 2025, Yuriy Dyba was buried at the Alley of Glory in Stryi, becoming a new hero.

The defender is survived by his mother, father, and sister.

'Glavkom' joins in a moment of silence, honoring the memory of all Ukrainians who died for their homeland. We remember those who lost their lives at the hands of Russian invaders and light candles of memory, bowing our heads in grief during the nationwide moment of silence. We honor the citizens of Ukraine who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of our country: military personnel, civilians, children - all who died in the struggle against the Russian occupiers and as a result of the attack of hostile troops on Ukrainian cities and villages.
