30-year-old military man Mykola Pidlubny (call sign Komandos) was killed on March 27, 2023 in the Dnipro Clinical Hospital named after Illia Mechnikov. Three days earlier, he was seriously wounded while carrying out a combat mission near the town of Krasnohorivka in the Donetsk region. Mykola was born and lived in the town of Bohuslav, Kyiv region. He graduated from the Bohuslav Higher Vocational School of Service Sector. He worked at the capital construction company PrAT "Budinzhenermerezha-5". He played football and loved sports and an active lifestyle. During the full-scale Russian invasion, the man joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After training, he served in the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade. Later, he was transferred to the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Major General Marko Bezruchko. He was an operator-gunner, deputy commander of a combat vehicle. He fought in the Donetsk region. "My husband was killed for the future of Ukraine. He was fair and honest in everything, devoted to military service, and was an authority among his comrades. He tried to help everyone, support everyone, had many dreams and plans. He dreamed that his family, his little son Nikita, would live in prosperity and have the best. When the war started, we lived in the Zhytomyr region, where I'm from. The enemy's offensives and constant shelling forced us to leave for the Lviv region in March 2022. On the second day, of his own free will, my husband went to the military enlistment office and registered. He went through the hottest points of the front, came out alive from the most difficult battles, but the wounds received near Krasnohorivka in the Donetsk region, unfortunately, turned out to be too severe," the fallen warrior's wife said. The defender was buried in the Alley of Glory of the Central Cemetery in his hometown. Mykola is survived by his mother Larysa Anatoliivna, wife Anita, son Nikita, grandmother, sister, and brothers.
