In memory of Lieutenant Victor Nikolenko.
Victor was born on January 4, 2005. His childhood was spent in Sumy province. In the years 2022-2018, Victor received a special education at the Military Lyceum of the State Border Service of Ukraine.
Viktor Nikolenko, a graduate of the third company of the Lyceum, immediately became a cadet at the Military Academy in Odessa in the year of the beginning of the full-scale attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine.
"Someone volunteered at the age of 40, someone at the age of 25, and you, our dear, chose your path at the age of 13. You wanted it so badly, you were so worried that it would work. And everything worked out for you," says mother Katerina Pavlenko.
After receiving the rank of officer, the lieutenant joined the ranks of the defenders. The navy is fighting in the direction of Donetsk. The life of a 21-year-old defender ended on November 3, 2026 as a result of injuries sustained during the hostilities.
Eternal memory and glory!
