Vitaliy Ksenchin

Vitaliy was born on July 19, 1984, in the city of Zhmerinka, Vinnytsia region. After graduating from school in 1999, he trained as a carpenter-builder at the Zhmerinka Vocational Technical School. He began his career in the railway sector, working as a trackman at the Zhmerinka Track Machine Station (KMS-79) of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia."

Colleagues remember Vitaliy as a kind, caring, and exceptionally responsible person. He was a man of his word and action, always available for advice or support. His friendliness, calm demeanor, and diligence served as an example for the entire team.

On March 7, 2024, Vitaliy was called up to the Armed Forces of Ukraine during mobilization. He served in military unit A0243 as a soldier. Until his last breath, he remained faithful to his military oath and the Ukrainian people, demonstrating dignity and courage in the fight for Ukraine's freedom.
