Hryhoriy KHARYTONOV

Hryhoriy was born in the city of Oleksandriia in the Kirovohrad region. He studied at secondary school No. 10. Later, he continued his education at the Dnipro National University of Railway Transport, majoring in "Railways and Railway Engineering." He also studied at the military department, where he received the rank of junior lieutenant.

Hryhoriy worked on the railway as a track master at the 2nd section of the Oleksandriia station in the Oleksandriia track distance.

He got married, and his family welcomed a daughter and a son, whom he always affectionately called "my bunnies." A strong family was the meaning of his life, and he was a pillar for them—a loving husband, son, and father. Hryhoriy was passionate about sports and led a healthy lifestyle. He was kind, decent, brave, sociable, and demanding, earning the respect of his comrades.

Hryhoriy was called up for military service in March 2022.

35-year-old Hryhoriy Kharitonov passed away in the hospital on August 23, 2024, as a result of injuries sustained in the combat zone.

Hryhoriy is survived by his mother, wife, daughter, and son.

The team at the Oleksandriia track distance deeply mourns this irreparable loss and extends heartfelt condolences to Hryhoriy Kharitonov's family and loved ones. Eternal memory and honor to our brave colleague who gave his life for Ukraine!
