Ukraine’s Major Artem Prysiazhniuk dies at the front

Yaroslav Hryshyn, a human rights defender and volunteer, wrote about this on Facebook.

The serviceman died when he came under heavy artillery fire and enemy air-bombing.

Prysiazhniuk started his career in Ukraine's Security Service, then he won a competition and worked in the central apparatus of the State Bureau of Investigation. After February 24 he took a leave and started destroying saboteurs as a volunteer fighter.

Later, the defender was mobilized to the Main Intelligence Directorate and went to fight at the front.

“Artem was a powerful operative, a real energizer, and the soul of the team. He was professionally involved in boxing and combat sambo, and won competitions. He changed his prestigious job to the front lines,” Hryshyn wrote.
