Oleksandr V. Yarysh

After finishing school, he studied at Mykolaiv Vocational Technical School No. 14 at the Black Sea Shipbuilding Plant and served his mandatory military service in the units of the Transbaikal Military District. After the announcement of partial mobilization in Ukraine, he volunteered to serve, and on April 4, he was called up for mobilization to the ranks of the National Guard of Ukraine. He told his comrades: "I can't calmly watch as completely young, inexperienced guys go to war…". In the unit, Oleksandr had a high authority, always helped younger comrades, gave advice, and shared his experience. His brothers-in-arms remember him as a cheerful, honest, reliable, and optimistic person, a true man, the soul of any company: "Sasha never walked around sad, always smiled, and encouraged everyone."
