The Ukrainian sports community suffered another heavy loss in connection with the war against the Russian Federation.

During the battles near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, 22-year-old athlete Vladimir Androshchuk died. This was announced on Saturday, January 28, by the Acting President of the Athletics Federation of Ukraine, Evgeny Pronin.

“Our athlete, all-rounder and true hero Vladimir Androshchuk died fighting for Ukraine. Recently we saw Vladimir in the athletics sectors. Heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and relatives son. Glory to all athletes who died for the freedom of Ukraine! Glory to all Ukrainian heroes!”, – said the message.

It should be noted that before the start of the full Russian invasion, he repeatedly became a winner in track and field starts in Ukraine, representing our country in international competitions.

Androshchuk in 2018 joined the national team for the U-18 European Championship in athletics, and in 2019 he won the decathlon at the Ukrainian U-20 Championship. In 2020, Volodymyr also represented Ukraine at the U-20 European Championship, where he finished sixth in the modern pentathlon.

Remember that MMA World Cup winner Eduard Kostritsa died at the hands of the Russian invaders. A 30-year-old athlete with the call sign “Dangerous” defended Bakhmut and was killed on January 23.

Earlier, the famous Ukrainian figure skater Dmitry Sharpar died in battles near Bakhmut.
