Qoure: “His life was closely connected with Vyshnivets at one point, where he was loved and respected. Andrii was cheerful, wanted to contribute to his favourite sport, and raise and nurture his son, for whom he was an undeniable authority and a hero. His genuine smile will remain in the memory of everyone who knew Andrii,” the post says.
Earlier, it was purported that Oleksandr Liashko, the father of Anzhelika Liashko, a member of the Ukrainian national 3×3 basketball team, was killed on the battlefield.
