Dmytro P. Pavlenko

Pavlenko Dmytro Petrovych was born on March 3, 1984. From 1995 to 1999, he studied at Bila Tserkva Secondary School I-III degrees No. 22. Even then, truly masculine qualities began to form in his character: responsibility, honesty, and principledness. Moreover, Dmytro was very kind and fair. After obtaining incomplete secondary education, he became a student at VPTU No. 9. After graduation, he worked at a factory. He served his mandatory military service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. When military actions began in the East of his homeland, Dmytro was one of the first to be mobilized in the spring of 2014. In 2015, after demobilization, he could not live peacefully and watch from the television screen as the enemy invasion continued to defile and destroy his country, so he decided not to stand aside and to connect his life with the army by signing a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After training at the training ground, Dmytro and his comrades were sent to the East. He served in the village of Bila Hora in the Kostiantynivka district of Donetsk region. On May 19, 2016, after combat duty at the positions, Dmytro returned to the unit and conducted training for newly arrived soldiers. This became the last training in the life of Pavlenko Dmytro. A grenade exploded in his hands, and three other servicemen were injured. Dmytro was only 32 years old, but his heart stopped forever. On May 22, 2016, a farewell took place near the Heavenly Hundred stele with Senior Sergeant of the Bila Tserkva Separate Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment Dmytro Petrovych Pavlenko. In August, Dmytro Pavlenko was posthumously awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Bila Tserkva.
