It is with great sadness that I want to inform you that I received news from the relatives of my husband Igor Voronka about his death on the battlefield on the evening of July 6. At this time, we cannot hold a funeral and receive official documents about his death, because the area is occupied. Therefore, he is officially listed as missing.
