Borys Nynyk

Before the full-scale invasion, Borys worked as a boiler operator in the boiler service department of the "Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi Carriage Division" of the "Passenger Company" branch of the joint-stock company "Ukrainian Railways." He had a total of 15 years of experience in the railway industry.

In the early days of the enemy invasion, he voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a driver-electrician. Later, on December 30, 2024, he was transferred to another military unit, where he served as a senior technician and deputy commander for technical matters. Borys Volodymyrovych participated in the liberation of Brovary region and defended our country in the Donetsk direction — Lyman, Kostiantynivka, Chasiv Yar, and Druzhkivka.

He was killed on June 30, 2025, remaining true to his military oath, in battle for our homeland while carrying out a combat mission near the settlement of Samarske in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region.

The team at Ukrzaliznytsia and the entire railway family deeply mourn the irreparable loss. Eternal memory to the defender!
