A faithful, good and wonderful friend. We had a love that is rare. Pavlo was always ready to help his neighbor. He loved life. He bravely accepted life's challenges. He was proud to be Ukrainian. Despite all my pleas, he went to defend all of us. This is a great loss for me, my son and our whole family. We still had our whole life ahead of us, many plans, but the inhumans destroyed everything. We will remember Pavlo as a wonderful dad, a loving, faithful husband and a wonderful person.
