"Dmytro was born in the village of Urzuf, now occupied by Russian troops. Purposeful and courageous, he dreamed of becoming a legend of the criminal investigation. After graduation, he began working as a detective in the criminal police sector of the Police Department No. 1(Druzhkivka) of the Kramatorsk District Police Department," the statement said.

The policeman's heart sought to protect his native land from any evil, and first and foremost from the occupier. Dmytro Korobenko joined the Special Police Battalion (Rifle) of the Donetsk Oblast Police.

"The defender proved to be a worthy, steadfast warrior. He went on missions thinking about his family, his daughter and all the children who needed to be saved from the Russian invasion. On 3 August, his life was cut short.

Dmytro was a loving son, husband and father, and he also took care of his 15-year-old sister. The police of the Donetsk region lost a dedicated law enforcement officer, a man with a capital letter, for whom people's lives came first," the National Police added.
