In difficult life situations, his smile saved everyone who was nearby. He had no hopeless situations... He always found a way out and made the right decisions, so it was not scary with him. The war is merciless... It took his smile off his face... And then took him away. We were very happy, it's a pity that only for a moment. There were plans to live several lives, and how many unfulfilled common dreams... The greatest joy is our daughter Milanka. Dima was very much waiting for her, but he didn't even have time to rejoice, she was only 8 months old when he . My Dima spent his entire adult life at war, it shaped his personality, hardened his will, and made him who he became. An officer with a capital letter, everyone respected him, his subordinates and commanders listened to his opinion and military intuition. Dima was responsible and fair. The full-scale invasion began for him in Zhytomyr region, where he served. Then - Kyiv region, Mykolaiv region. And until the fatal Bakhmut... I don't know everything, he told a little, said, he would tell everything later, and then he was gone... He was real! I love infinitely. I'm very, very sorry.
