Senior soldier Oleksandr Dybka (call sign Vii) was killed on November 17, 2023 near the village of Vasyukivka, Donetsk region. An enemy FPV drone hit Oleksandr's vehicle, as a result of which the warrior received an injury incompatible with life. The defender was forever 26 years old. Oleksandr was born in Kyiv. After graduating from secondary school No. 63, he received higher education at the State University of Trade and Economics. He got a job at the Dnipro-M company, holding the position of a user support specialist. He was a very capable person, in all sports and intellectual events in which he participated, he received prize-winning places - both in his school years and during his service. He had many awards and medals. Immediately after the start of the full-scale invasion, together with his father, he voluntarily joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He served in the 30th separate mechanized brigade, holding the position of an artillery fire adjuster. "Oleksandr was the soul of the company, he loved to joke a lot, he was charismatic. He was always able to improve the mood of everyone, despite his own problems and experiences. First of all, he was concerned about his family. He did everything possible for his relatives and for me personally. Communicating with Sashko's comrades-in-arms, I heard many pleasant words about how he motivated, supported and helped everyone there, at the front. In his unit, he was the best UAV pilot. Every day with my Sashko was filled with love, he made me happy every day, every second with him was full of happiness. I miss you so much, my beloved. For a year now I have not been living, because without you I do not exist..." wrote the deceased's fiancee Anastasia. The defender was buried at the Berkovsky cemetery in his native Kyiv. Oleksandr is survived by his fiancee, parents, brother, niece and nephew. Posthumously, the defender was awarded the honorary badge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Golden Cross". In 2024, a memorial plaque to the fallen warrior was installed on the facade of school No. 63, where Oleksandr studied.
