Quote: “Hero-photographer Volodymyr Myroniuk was killed on the contact line near Kurdiumivka with a camera in his hands, with footage of the last, most risky reportage…
Thousands knew him by the alias ‘John’ on the warpaths. He is now forever 59 years old.
And it is very difficult to describe his personality. A Ukrainian and citizen of the United States, he worked in America for many years as a truck driver. He came to Ukraine for a long time when the Maidan began.”
Details: Butusov said that “Volodymyr Myroniuk made the last coverage on the position of the Ukrainian infantry, which was attacked by the enemy and subjected to hurricane fire for many hours”.
Quote: “The archive of Volodymyr Myroniuk contains unique footage of Ukrainian heroes and wonderful portraits. Unique footage of the coverage during which he died.
Friends of ‘John’ are asking for help in finding such an institution in Kyiv, which will help organise a photo exhibition of Volodymyr Myroniuk with his contact-line photos. If anyone has such an interest, please respond, and I will contact you. These are frames of our history that help preserve the memory of the feat of Ukrainians forever.”
