"My husband was a true warrior, a patriot, an example of indomitability and strength of spirit! He dreamed that his daughters Sofiya, Solomiya and Karolina would live in an independent and indomitable country, and when the war was over, he also dreamed of a son! He was a man of his word, honest, straightforward. We miss him very much..." - said the wife of the fallen Anastasia. The family waited for the DNA results for almost a year.
