The Hostomel community is bidding farewell today, 13 November, to defender Sergeant Oleksandr Kachurenko. The funeral procession will set off from the settlement of Kotsiubynske to Hostomel.

This was reported by the Hostomel Settlement Military Administration.

Oleksandr served as a section commander and vehicle commander of a bridge-building section in a support battalion’s engineering company. The community remembers him as a true son of Ukraine, a reliable comrade and a professional soldier.

At around 11:20–11:30 the procession will move along Sviato-Pokrovska Street. At 11:30 residents are asked to form a “living corridor” of honour outside the building of the Hostomel Settlement Military Administration.

Between 11:50 and 12:00 the procession will arrive at the new cemetery on Leontovycha Street, where the burial service will take place. The military administration asks everyone to stop for a minute and bow their heads to honour the defender.

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

As a reminder, on 11 November Buda-Babynetska said farewell to defender Dmytro Cherevko.
