Last year, the Russian forces took the life of Vladyslav Hryshchenko from Sosnytsia, the northern Chernihiv region.
This year, his mother decided to fund the paving of the road named after her son, Rubryka reports, referring to the statement of the Sosnytsia community.
On July 14, 2022, Hryshchenko was injured while defending his native land. As a sign of gratitude, the community named a street in honor of the fallen hero.

"Thank you all and everyone who came to support me on this difficult day for me. Thank you very much to everyone," said Mrs. Valentyna, tearful.
Rubryka reported that the authorities in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, renamed about 300 city streets. One of them, Schmidt Street, will have the name of the fallen Hero of Ukraine, Dmytro Kotsiubailo, the soldier of the "Da Vinci" battalion, which fights near Bakhmut.
On Thursday, the fallen defenders' parents, wives, children, relatives, siblings, and friends protested in Kyiv, demanding action on the memorial cemetery.
