Denys V. Dundin

Denys Volodymyrovych Duhndin was born on November 2, 1990, in the village of Natalyne, Krasnohrad district, Kharkiv region. In 2013, he graduated from the Kharkiv National Economic University named after Semen Kuznets and obtained a qualification as a specialist in human resource management and labor economics. He began his professional career on December 3, 2010. Before the full-scale invasion, Denys worked as an administrator at a service center in the city of Krasnohrad, Kharkiv region. However, when the country needed protection, he did not hesitate to choose military service. Transitioning from administrative duties to military service, Denys proved that his heart burns with faith in Ukraine and is ready to defend its independence. "Denys is selfless, always smiling and brave, always ready to serve a cause that is more important than his own interests," his colleagues say about him. In his military life, Denys proved to be indispensable, especially in difficult situations. He serviced armored vehicles and ensured their combat readiness, taking on the responsibility for the safety and successful movement of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. Just before the New Year, he received the rank of junior lieutenant and continued his service as a commander of a rifle platoon in the Zaporizhia direction. Denys Duhndin was killed on February 5, 2024, in the area of the village of Pyatykhatky, Zaporizhia region.
