"There was always something to talk about with him: from new movies to philosophical theories. He was a bright man with a broad outlook and sharpened virtues. He was a true patriot of the country, not in words but in deeds, because he did everything he could to make his native land and our society better... This is a huge loss for all of us," his colleagues share their memories of Oleksandr.
Tsakhniv volunteered at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. He was killed during the fighting in the Bakhmut sector under enemy fire.
