"Vlad dreamed of defeating the enemy as soon as possible and returning to peaceful life together with all Ukrainians. But the insidious enemy took away a young life, and with it - all dreams of the future. Vladyslav had a whole life ahead of him, but he gave it for Ukraine, because for him she was above all. Responsible, always demanding of himself, initiative, purposeful and diligent - this is how Vladyslav Chervinskyi was and will forever remain in our memory," said the Zhmerynka City Council.
