Honoring the Memory of Hero: Farewell to Captain Vladislav Ilchuk

In the Odesa region, a farewell ceremony was held for Captain Vladislav Ilchuk, who lost his life in combat on February 22, 2025. The Bolhrad City Council emphasized that he stood up to defend his homeland from the very first days of the full-scale invasion.

Today, March 2, the village of Tabaky held a farewell for Battalion Commander Vladislav Ilchuk. Before the war, he lived in Bakhmut with his family, but during the conflict, they were forced to relocate to Odesa region after their hometown was destroyed.

"After fierce battles in Bakhmut, the officer's family had to leave their home and move to the Bolhrad community. Here, they tried to build a new life, hoping their hero would return. However, the enemy shattered those hopes, leaving the family without a husband, son, and father."

"The body of the fallen defender was carried through a living corridor formed by community members, honoring Vladislav's heroism. At the cemetery, where he found his final resting place alongside other fallen soldiers, the widow was presented with the state flag of Ukraine as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance," the Bolhrad community stated.
