The Bucha community is saying farewell to 31-year-old defender Dmytro Cherevko from the village of Buda-Babynetska. He had been listed as missing since 9 March 2025, when he was on a combat mission.

This was reported by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk.

Only now has it been possible to bring Dmytro’s body home and identify him. Before the full-scale war he worked as a security guard at a shop in Kyiv, and his family remember him as a kind, responsible and sincere person.

His wife and daughter were waiting for Dmytro at home. As the mayor wrote, this loss will remain an unspeakable pain for them forever.

The farewell and funeral service will take place today, 11 November, at 11:00 outside the house at 20 Zoriana Street in Buda-Babynetska. The defender will be buried on the Alley of Heroes at the cemetery on Luhova Street in the village of Babyntsi.

Bucha FM joins in offering condolences to Dmytro’s family, friends and brothers-in-arms.

As a reminder, on 5 November Bucha said farewell to defender Yurii Havryliuk.
