Football ultras were among the first to take up arms to defend Ukraine from the occupiers. Unfortunately, many of them returned from the battlefield on a shield.
Oleksandr Protsenko and Yevhen Filov became the next fans who will now watch their favourite team from the heavens, not from the fan stand. They were fans of Kherson's Crystal.
The fallen soldiers defended their homeland in the ranks of the 3rd separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Unfortunately, they had to give up the most valuable thing for the sake of the bright future of their country - their lives. It has not been specified where and under what circumstances the lives of the Ukrainian defenders were cut short.
"Tragic news. Two soldiers of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, loyal fans of Kherson's Crystal, Oleksandr Protsenko "Prots" and Yevhen Filov "Filya", were killed in the war with the Russian occupiers. Eternal memory to the heroes - the defenders of Ukraine!", - said in a statement.
