🕯️A nationwide minute of silence
12 March 2023 year, while on combat duty, the head of the recruitment and staffing department of the Donetsk regional territorial recruitment and social support center, Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr Antonets, a graduate of the Military Law Institute of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, passed away.
In 2007 he received the specialty of military prosecutor. From 2007 to 2015 he served as an investigator in the military prosecution of the Odesa garrison of the Military Prosecutor's Office of the Southern Region of Ukraine.
At the start of the ATO he voluntarily went to defend the country from the occupiers as part of the 93 separate mechanized brigade “Kholodnyi Yar.”
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Oleksandr Antonets saved about a hundred lives of Volnovakha residents — despite heavy shelling by the occupiers, he evacuated civilians by his own vehicle to nearby settlements. He became a local Hero.
Oleksandr’s life was cut short one and a half months before his 39-th birthday — on 12 March 2023 year in the city of Dobropillia, Donetsk region — while on combat duty his heart stopped.
Eternal memory and glory to the Ukrainian soldier who defended the Motherland and each one of us!
The Office of the Prosecutor General honors the memory of Oleksandr Antonets: we remember the price of our freedom. Bright memory to the defender and our eternal gratitude!
