Viktor PUSHKARYOV

Viktor Oleksandrovych Pushkaryov was born in the village of Chapaieve, Chutivskyi District, Poltava Oblast. After finishing school, he worked in his native village at the LLC "Farmer's Grain Farm" to support his mother. In 2016, after graduating from the State Vocational and Technical Educational Institution "Poltava Professional Transport Lyceum," he began working on the railway as a wagon inspector-repairman of the 5th category at the Poltava-Southern station, part of the "Station Operations Service." He worked on the railway for 7 years.

Viktor was always the center of attention—decent, reliable, and straightforward. Constantly cheerful, he gathered people around him and was a trustworthy friend. His colleagues respected and valued him for his extensive practical experience, professionalism, and humanity.

In December 2024, he joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defend his homeland, but the terrible war takes the best... On May 30, 2025, Viktor was killed near the settlement of Zoloty Kolodyaz, Pokrovskyi District, Donetsk Oblast. He had much left to do, but his life continues through his deeds and our memories. We express our deepest condolences to his family. Viktor is survived by his mother and son.

The team of the "Station Operations Service" of the regional branch "Southern Railway" of the joint-stock company "Ukrainian Railways" mourns together with Viktor's family. Eternal memory and honor to our colleague and hero-defender!
