And here is Ukraine. Urgent business trip. Evgeny Nikolaevich might not have gone there. His friend asked to replace him during his vacation. How could he refuse?! Our fellow countryman was not one of those.

Exactly two months after Victory Day, Yevgeny Vyrodov will die heroically in Ukraine. Where his grandfather Ivan Ivanovich fought during the Great Patriotic War. Together with Evgeniy Nikolaevich Vyrodov, the entire officer corps died that day. According to some reports reported to relatives, more than 16 people laid down their heads along with their son.

There was a scheduled meeting of officers. Upon completion, the commander asks his subordinates to stay for just a few minutes. According to the data, shelling from the enemy was supposed to begin soon, we need to hurry. Many managed to leave the collection point. Just a few fateful minutes and that’s it. Three missiles flew exactly to the place where the meeting of our officers was taking place. Their lives were cut short. Evgeniy Vyrodov was seriously wounded. His leg was blown off. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Vyrodov died from his wounds.
