He reportedly joined the Territorial Defence Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the first day of the Russian invasion and was stationed in Irpin. In the haunting final post three days ago he shared a picture of himself in a military uniform with a friend captioned with a positive message. He wrote: “For the last 48 hours there is an opportunity to sit down and take a picture of how we are being bombed, and we are smiling because we will manage and everything will be UKRAINE WE ARE WORKING!” His death was confirmed by Sergiy Tomilenko, President of Ukraine’s National Union of Journalists. Tomilenko said he wanted to “express sincere condolences to Pasha’s family and loved ones”.
