Oleksiy ZHUPANOV

Oleksiy was born in Vinnytsia, where he obtained a higher education degree in "Electronic Equipment Engineering." He worked as a Category 2 Systems Administrator at the "Main Information and Computing Center" of Ukrzaliznytsia.

Oleksiy was calm, tactful, polite, empathetic, and had a good sense of humor. Colleagues remember him as a skilled professional who completed tasks precisely, as well as a friend who was always ready to help, speaking little but hitting the nail on the head. In peaceful times, he enjoyed fishing, hiking in the mountains, and loved cooking delicious meals for his family. He was an exemplary family man, adoring his wife and daughter.

On September 7, 2022, Oleksiy was mobilized into a motorized infantry brigade. He did not tell his family about his service, saying he "went to work." Comrades remember him as a loyal friend, a brave and fearless warrior, someone they could always rely on.

34-year-old soldier Oleksiy Zhupanov tragically lost his life on October 10, 2023, sustaining injuries incompatible with life during a battle in the Avdiivka area of Donetsk region.

Oleksiy is survived by his wife, daughter, and parents.

The team at the "Main Information and Computing Center" of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" feels acute, indescribable pain over the loss of Oleksiy Zhupanov. Glory and memory to the indomitable Defender!
