Kyrylo, un giovane soldato ucraino, si è sacrificato per neutralizzare una postazione di mitragliatrice nemica e il comandante nemico, salvando i suoi commilitoni da un’imboscata

Kyrylo Baiev was born in Kharkiv. Since childhood, he was involved in sports.  

In 2011, he became interested in martial arts, says Kyrylo’s aunt, Alisa. The young man practiced judo, MMA, and a World Cup winner in Cossack combat. 

On the first day of the full-scale invasion, the 20-year-old athlete decided to join the Territorial Defense. “I tried to dissuade him from joining the military because he was too young. I asked him to wait, not to rush. He said ‘I’m going with the guys. I’m not going to sit and wait,'” recalls the fallen soldier’s father. 

A few months later, he joined the Kraken special unit. He participated in the liberation of the Kharkiv region and battles in the east. On January 14, 2023, he fell near Soledar.

“When he returned after the liberation of the Kharkiv region, he wrote to me. I asked him to transfer to a safer unit, for example, security or logistics, rather than staying as an assault soldier. He said he would stay with his guys until the end. He asked me not to talk about it anymore. He said he had made up his mind,” says the fallen soldier’s father.

“Baian” died during a night combat mission in the Donetsk region.

“They walked into an ambush. The guys started taking heavy fire, but he decided to reach the location where the russian machine gun was operating, and where the russian commander was. He had to neutralize that point. He eliminated the russian commander and gave the guys the opportunity to complete the mission and evacuate the wounded. But he did not survive. I think this is a courageous act, worthy of the Hero of Ukraine,” says Andrii

“My son always cared about Ukraine. He was only 21 years old. I told him, as a father, to take care of himself. But he was a fearless warrior and always said: ‘We will win.’ I believe that such names should remain in history. His name must be written into history,” says Andrii Baiev.

What a dam shame. Russia will never be forgiven for this absolutely disgusting war. It’s just pure evil. And young men like this pay the price for an old man’s sick greed. Rest in peace.🇺🇦 You gave your life for your brother’s in arms and your country. I don’t think there is a more noble way to go.

Rest in Peace, Warrior. Your country lives on because of your sacrifice. The story of Ukraine can’t be told without you

Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
