Anatolii V. Kosianchuk (Kemel)

Soldier Anatoliy Kosyanchuk (call sign Kemel) was killed on April 29, 2023, while carrying out a combat mission in Bakhmut, Donetsk region. The warrior's life was cut short by enemy artillery fire. In March, the defender turned 29 years old. Anatoliy was born in the village of Krasyliv, Zhytomyr region. He graduated from 9 grades of school there. He was a diligent, athletic, and active student. He had many friends, loved fishing, was a good mushroom picker, played football, and enjoyed cycling and horseback riding. In 2012, he graduated from the Novohrad-Volynskyi vocational school, obtaining the qualifications of a construction carpenter, woodcarver, and birchbark worker. After his studies, he wanted to join the special forces on conscription, but did not pass the selection. Later, he went to work as an installer of metal-plastic windows and doors at one of the local companies. In 2014, he started working at the "World of Windows and Doors" company, holding the position of assistant master. He learned quickly and was able to make the right decisions, which earned him the respect of his colleagues. A year later, he became a master of window and door installation, working until 2022. In 2018, Anatoliy met his true love, a girl named Daryna. Life was filled with bright colors and emotions. But in 2019, tragedy struck the family - he lost both parents. After that, Anatoliy and his sister Aliona became very close, supporting each other, which helped them cope with the loss. In January 2021, Tolik and Daryna had a daughter, Liya, who became everything to him. The girl was a copy of her father. He always strived to protect his family. Therefore, during the full-scale invasion, in November 2022, Anatoliy without hesitation joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He served in the 77th separate airmobile brigade, holding the position of senior driver of the unit. "Tolik was a real man, a Hero of his Ukraine. Courageous, fair, and smart. A jack of all trades. But the cursed war took him away... It is still impossible to comprehend... This is a great loss for us. He will forever be in our hearts and thoughts," said the fallen defender's wife, Daryna. The paratrooper was buried in the city of Zviaghel, Zhytomyr region. The hero left behind a sister, wife, and daughter.
