  1. Ilya studied at the Lviv School of Eastern Languages and Eastern Martial Artsб where he focused on foreign languages. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene, Ecology, and Law at the Lviv National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies, and then pursued a master’s degree at the same university.

    In his free time, he was passionate about mixed martial arts, competing and placing in national and regional free-fight championships. He also loved cycling and was an active member of the “Peacemaker” karate club.

    When the full-scale invasion by russia began, Ilya made the decision to pause his master’s studies and voluntarily joined the defense of his country. He became part of the 3rd Separate Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, taking on combat missions on the eastern front, committed to protecting his homeland from the invaders.

    He left behind parents and a sister.
