Roman BORZYAK

On October 17, 2026, due to a treacherous enemy shelling in his hometown of Sloviansk, the life of Roman Mykolaiovych Borzyak, the head of the track diagnostics section of the Sloviansk track distance, was tragically cut short. A civilian air bomb or missile struck directly into the railway worker's apartment, taking the life of a dedicated specialist, a loving husband, and father.

Roman was born on January 1, 1977, in Sloviansk, Donetsk region, where he spent his entire life and professional growth. In 1997, he joined the railway family, starting his journey as an assistant operator of a defectoscope at the 4th category.

Over 29 years of diligent work on the Donetsk railway, Roman Mykolaiovych rose through the ranks to become the head of the 1st group of the track diagnostics section of the structural unit "Sloviansk track distance" of the regional branch "Donetsk Railway" of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia." The safety of train operations on the complex and critical sections of eastern Ukraine depended daily on his keen eye, professionalism, and responsibility.

Colleagues remember Roman as an extraordinarily kind, open, cheerful, and sincere person. He was a reliable employee and friend, whose professional authority was combined with a constant readiness to lend a hand and offer support with kind words.

In his personal life, he was a strong support for his family. The fallen railway worker is survived by his wife and two daughters.

The team of the Sloviansk track distance and the entire regional branch "Donetsk Railway" of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" expresses its deep sorrow and profound pain in their hearts, offering sincere condolences to Roman Borzyak's wife, daughters, relatives, and friends.

May his memory be eternal and bright!
