Oleksandr I. Dolinko (Dolia)

Soldier Oleksandr Dolynko (call sign Dolya) was killed on January 1, 2023, while performing a combat mission near the village of Dibrova in the Luhansk region. The warrior was 34 years old. Oleksandr was born and lived in the village of Dorohe, Dnipropetrovsk region. He graduated from the Derezuvat secondary school. He worked as a loader at the enterprise of PJSC "Prydniprovskyi". In his free time, he loved fishing, traveling, and resting with his family. During the full-scale Russian invasion, the man joined the TRO forces. He served in the 110th battalion of the 111th separate brigade of the territorial defense. He was a machine gunner. "There is probably no one like my Sanichka in the whole world! Oleksandr is a man who taught us to live! We have never seen a kinder and more attentive man in the whole wide world. His warmth was enough for everyone," said the deceased's wife Viktoriia. "Sashko was the third, the youngest, child in the family. Cheerful and active, he always took part in mass school events and rural amateur performances. At one time, he served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so after receiving a summons for mobilization in April 2022, he went without hesitation to defend the Motherland from the Russian invaders. He told his parents briefly: 'And who, if not me?'. A man of sturdy build, a face of pure seriousness, and mischievous eyes. Sasha had an incredible sense of humor, was an interesting interlocutor, and was respected and loved," the Ilarionivska community noted. The serviceman was buried in the cemetery near his native village. Oleksandr is survived by his parents, wife, relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms.
