Soldier and poet Glib Babich killed
The poet Glib Babich has been killed in combat while defending Ukraine against occupying Russian forces.
This was reported by friends and colleagues of the famous soldier, volunteer and poet.
In particular, political scientist Andriy Smoliy wrote on Facebook: "It just became known. Glib Babich was killed. Poet, songwriter, military man, blogger. Knew Glib. Sometimes we saw each other. Many of you knew Gleb, saw him on the air, subscribed to his pages, know personally... Frankly, one of the saddest news.. Curse the occupiers and terrorists…”.
Volunteer Yuriy Biryukov also responded to the death of his brother:
"I adore your talent and intelligence, ingenuity and grunt, hard work and laziness. I adore your persistence to make me listen to your songs that I don't understand, and listen and recognize the talent...
I adore your boredom, with the help of which you forced me to "prompt" everything to your team. That's right, because your call sign is "Lazy" - you had to heat me up. You were able to.
I adore your projects, which will now be a memory of you. "Loki"... You so wanted to bring this project to your mind, but you didn't have time.
Just do not think to write: "Heroes do not die", please. Although... Yes. Heroes do not die. Damn, they get killed. And now you are killed."
