According to Censor.NET, this was reported by his girlfriend, Ukrainian military and writer Oksana Rubanyak (Xena).
"You were a warrior the world should know about. You were a fighter, you gave your whole life to the war. I sincerely admire and respect your path. You were someone who was not unindifferent, invested as much as possible in the fight, you lived it... Usually, we were on different fronts. Except for the extreme one. Pokrovsk. He gave us the opportunity to see each other more often, but he eventually took you away forever," the defender wrote.
The servicewoman added that she plans to publish a collection of poems by Maksym Yemets, which, according to her, is already at the final stage.
"We met at one of the frontline locations. Everything happened suddenly and unexpectedly. You could make a film about our story, but we kept it a secret until the end. You filled my space, added a sense of security, support, and love to my life. You are the one I have been waiting for all my life," the girl said.
