Навіки в строю: у Рівному попрощалися з трьома захисниками України

A heavy loss for Rivne and the entire country. On the Independence Square, they said goodbye to three fallen defenders. Viktor Chekota and Vasyl Chykalyuk joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022, and Yevheniy Shablevskyi in the summer of 2024. They fought in the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Yevheniy and Viktor died in June of this year, and Vasyl in the summer of 2025. Until now, he was considered missing. Dozens of Rivne residents came to see the defenders off on their last journey.
