Comment: Gostomel Town council:
“The head of the Gostomel community Yuriy Prylypko died, distributing bread to the hungry and medicine to the sick, comforting the burnt and consoling the desperate. For this, he and his close friends Ruslan Karpenko and Ivan Zorya were shooted by Russian forces … Nobody forced him to go under the bullets of the occupiers. He could, like hundreds of others, sit in the shelter. And who would blame? But they waited for him, they hoped for him, they believed in him. And he made his choice. He died for the community, he died for Gostomel, he died as a hero. Eternal memory and our gratitude”.
