Volodymyr VANTUKH

Vadym Korniychuk was born in the village of Pustomyty, Hoshchanskyi district, Rivne region. In 2020, after graduating from the Zdolbuniv Higher Vocational School of Railway Transport, he began working as a 3rd category locksmith for the repair of rolling stock in the electric train repair shop at the production structural unit "Motor Car Depot Zdolbuniv" of the "Lviv Railway" branch of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

He worked at the railway for 10 months, after which he was released on 10.11.2020 for military service during mobilization. From 23.12.2022, he served under contract in the National Guard of Ukraine.

On 18.07.2024, Junior Sergeant Vadym was killed while performing a combat mission to deter the military aggression of the Russian Federation as a result of a tank shelling in the vicinity of the settlement of Robotyne in the Polohy district of Zaporizhzhia region.

He was kind, attentive to his parents, always giving them small gifts, addressed them formally, loved animals, and in childhood made wooden toy guns, claiming he would be a Hero. He was about to get married.

Vadym had the motto "Everything will be fine." He feared nothing, was brave, non-conflictual, and said that Ukrainian borscht was "divine food."

Vadym Korniychuk is survived by his parents, brother, and fiancée.

The team at the Zdolbuniv Motor Car Depot deeply mourns the irreparable loss of our brave colleague. We share in the sorrow of Vadym's family and loved ones. The memory of the Hero will live on forever!
