Artem I. Koliadiuk (Bubin)

Soldier Artem Kolyadyuk (call sign Bubin) was killed on July 13, 2023, while carrying out a combat mission near the village of Pyatihatky in the Zaporizhzhia region. The warrior was forever 30 years old. Artem was born and lived in the city of Kamin-Kashirskyi, Volyn region. He obtained the profession of a painter-plasterer at the local vocational school. All his life he worked at enterprises engaged in construction. For some time he was abroad for earnings. He loved to have fun, and a year before the great war he worked at weddings, corporate events, birthdays, and was responsible for the musical accompaniment. He built a house in which he did not have time to live, because during the full-scale invasion he immediately went to defend his native country. On February 25, 2022, the man went to war as a volunteer. At first, he was part of the 50th separate rifle battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After some time, he served in the Zhytomyr region, as part of the 115th separate mechanized brigade. In January 2023, he joined the ranks of the newly formed 118th separate mechanized brigade. He underwent training with the participation of NATO countries in Romania, where he mastered the profession of an aerial reconnaissance officer. "We were together for more than 3 years, one and a half of which we spent apart, because Artem left on February 25 to defend his country. Artem is my love. He always supported me, never regretted going to the army, always believed that he was obliged to defend his state. His comrades-in-arms said that such as him are called the "golden elite of the army". His skills helped the infantrymen and artillerymen to identify the enemy target, but Artem, to our great sorrow, was killed. He was a true patriot, a faithful comrade-in-arms, a man of his word, an example of indomitability and loyalty to his country," said his beloved Yulia Pryimak. The defender was buried in his hometown. At home, Artem was awaited by his mother, girlfriend, other relatives and friends.
