The soldier was just one kilometer away from his destination when the fatal crash occurred.

"My love! I can’t and will never believe this! You will forever be the best father and my whole world! But now you’re in heaven. I don’t know how to go on without you. I always pushed away these terrifying thoughts. But I promise I’ll learn, I’ll cope, for our little son. You’ll always be with us, I know it," she wrote.
Myroslava added that details of the farewell ceremony for Oleksii Nakonechnyi will be announced later.
