The funeral service for Demian Hanul was held at the Cathedral of the Nativity of the OCU. Hundreds of people gathered there.
"I have many memories of him. He was a man who had a very good sense of humour. He believed in what he was doing and said everything he thought. He didn't care about negative comments, he was very strong in spirit," said Svitlana, an acquaintance of Ganul's.
A friend of the deceased said that Hanul did not rule out that his life was in danger.
"He has been threatened before, not long ago he was attacked. This attack was connected to the same brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and I don't believe in coincidence. But he assessed all the risks, and he took it for granted. He was not afraid," he said.
