Dmytro Denysenko, a defender from Irpin, was killed at the front on 18 October while carrying out a combat mission. He was 27 and served as a rifleman and assistant grenade launcher operator.

This was reported by acting mayor and secretary of Irpin City Council Anzhela Makeieva.

Dmytro was born in Irpin on 5 December 1998 and studied at the town’s School No. 1 with an arts profile. In 2019 he graduated from the Kyiv Industrial College as an electromechanic, and later worked as a firefighter at the 7th State Fire and Rescue Unit in Kyiv.

He met the full-scale invasion in occupied Bucha, and in April 2022 joined the town’s territorial defence. In 2025 Dmytro married, took the military oath and began serving in the Navy.

Dmytro is survived by his pregnant wife, young son, parents, brothers and sisters.

The farewell

The farewell to Dmytro Denysenko will take place on Monday, 9 November. At 10:00 a living corridor will line the route from the junction of Soborna and Rudenka streets to the turn for the cemetery, and at 10:30 the burial will begin on the Alley of Memory of Defenders of Ukraine.

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.
