According to Danyk, Ukrainians have no right to forget that behind every light turned on in an apartment is the work of people like Oleksandr.
This is about hard, risky work in smoke, at heights, in the air and underwater, under the threat of repeated attacks, at the limits of human capabilities.
They go where the danger has not yet passed to protect others. This is a painful reminder of the price of service and the responsibility that rescuers bear every day. On behalf of the entire service, I express my sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and brothers of the deceased, — added the head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
