Vitalii Yu. Loboda

Soldier Vitaliy Loboda was killed on May 3, 2022 in the Lyman direction in the Donetsk region. While performing his duties, he received fatal injuries during enemy shelling from "Grads". The defender was 34 years old. Vitaliy was born in the settlement of Sutysks, Vinnytsia region. In civilian life, he had been an employee of LLC "Nova Poshta" for many years. He worked as a specialist in the Vinnytsia parcel terminal, on the "Konsort" line. He grouped cargoes, helped load them into vehicles and always completed the work, no matter how many there were. "He constantly motivated his colleagues to work better with his good mood and apt word. He understood that someone at the end of the journey of each parcel was waiting for it very, very much. Vitaliy dreamed of becoming a section manager, sent documents for the competition, but the war interrupted his career plans," his colleagues noted. Vitaliy is also remembered at the school in his native Sutysks, where he studied. They note that he was diligent and studied well. Of the six brothers and sisters, he was the youngest, but he was the leader - in place of the father they did not have. Even as an adult, Vitaliy continued to help his relatives. When the man received a summons during the full-scale war, he went to the front without hesitation. Later he became a rifleman-assistant grenadier in one of the combat brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The fighter was buried in the village of Voronovytsia in the Vinnytsia region. At home, Vitaliy was awaited by his wife, daughter and son, a loving family, friends and colleagues. Vitaliy Loboda was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage of the III degree.
