Stanislav M. Dytuna (Dytukha)

Sergeant Stanislav Dituna (call sign Dituha) was killed on December 25, 2023 while carrying out a combat mission near the village of Staromaiorske in the Donetsk region. A month later, on January 24, the warrior would have turned 25 years old. Stanislav was born in the city of Bobrynets, Kirovohrad region. After school, he studied at the Bobrynets Agricultural College named after V. Poryk, and obtained the qualification of a land surveyor. After his studies, he went on conscript service. Since 2019, he has served under contract in the ranks of the National Guard of Ukraine. Since then, he has lived in the Zaporizhzhia region. During the full-scale war, the man continued to perform his official duties as part of the 23rd separate brigade of public order protection "Khortytsia". He held the position of head of the military detail (squad commander) of the patrol platoon of the patrol company of the patrol battalion. Together with his comrades-in-arms, he fought on the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk fronts. During his service, the soldier was awarded the "Veteran of War" badge, the "For the Development of the Zaporizhzhia Region" and "For Resilience and Indomitability" medals. "Stanislav is a true Hero! He did not stand aside, but worthily defended his family and Motherland. Since the beginning of the war, he has defended Mariupol. While in the zone of active hostilities, he never complained that it was difficult for him. On the contrary, he tried to support everyone: both his comrades-in-arms and his relatives, convincing them that everything would be fine," said the wife of the fallen. The National Guard soldier is buried in the Alley of Glory of the Kovalivka microdistrict cemetery in the city of Bobrynets. At home, the defender was awaited by his mother Olena, wife Angelina, sister Sophia and grandmother Olga.
