"The loss of a brother is a deep wound that will never heal. The pain and sorrow for him will forever remain in our hearts. He was a true friend, a support and a pillar!" said the deceased's sister Marina. "My brother Myroslav was a very fair and sensitive person, modest and simple, kind in heart and soul. He saved many lives and always helped the poor. He loved children very much, was a believer and lived justly, also loved Ukraine and was a patriot. Even when Myroslav was offered to be the president's bodyguard, he refused, because he said he would go to the front to help his comrades and save the lives of Ukrainians. God, how painful it is in the heart and soul without you, dear brother. My children always look up to the sky and say: 'Where is our angel Myroslav?'. You are our Angel in the heart and soul. You will always be in our memory," added his other sister Yaroslava. The warrior was buried at the Sovski Cemetery in Kyiv.
