Tragedy in the rear: the brother of a TSN journalist was killed during the awards ceremony due to a strike by the Russian Armed Forces

It was during this ceremony that Volodymyr was killed by a ballistic missile. Dmytro emphasized that the tragic incident did not happen on the battlefield, but in the rear, in an open area, which could be the result of negligence or miscalculations in ensuring security. "In the deep rear. He and his comrades were gathered on the square to be awarded. They gathered the best. The best pilots and infantrymen of the brigade. In order. In an open area. Ballistics flew in.

The history of negligence (or not negligence) repeated itself," the publication says. The author of the post also notes that Volodymyr Sviatnenko served since 2023 and went through numerous combat operations in Krynyky, Kurakhovo, Maryanka and Krasnohorivka. He saved the wounded, supported his brothers and earned the nickname "Healer". At first he served as an "anti-tank sailor", and later he became a pilot of drones, he was the first to fly with optics and taught and motivated other fighters.

The journalist said that even after a vacation abroad, Volodymyr returned to the front, continuing his service and supporting his comrades. He was 43 years old. The journalist promised to report details about the funeral later, adding a short video about his brother. Earlier, the "East" military group reported that on November 1, 2025, the Russian occupiers launched a missile-drone attack on the communities of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

As a result, the communities of Nikopol, Pishchanska, Pokrovska, Marganetska and Chervonogrigorivska were affected. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded, including servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Currently, law enforcement agencies are checking whether the orders regarding the timely notification of danger and the prohibition of gatherings in the open area were followed. We will remind that Andriy Synyshyn died in the fight against the Russian invaders.
