Пам'яті бійця батальйону «Айдар» Романа Стусяка (позивний «Дата»)

In the summer of 2016, the couple got married, and soon they had a son, Mark.

It's as if God knew we didn't have much time to live together, ”the woman says with sadness in her voice.

In recent years, before the full-scale invasion, Roman went to work abroad to earn money for his own housing. In December 2021, he returned home for several months, so on February 24, 2022, he was in Ternopil.

The first task of the serviceman was to clean up Pavlivka in the Donetsk region, then they were transferred to the Bakhmut direction.

"It was there that Roman received a shrapnel wound in his arm. He underwent treatment right at his place of deployment, he did not spend a single day in the hospital. When he could not hold a weapon because of a damaged arm, he helped medics evacuate the 200s and 300s, "the wife adds.

Context

Roman loved his family most of all in the world - his beloved wife Maria and son Mark - and dreamed that after years of working abroad, he would return forever to his hometown and constantly be near the dearest people. In May 2022, the man left his usual life and took up arms to protect his family and homeland from the enemy.

"We met in 2015 in one of the restaurants in Ternopil. Roma was at his friend's birthday party, and I was at the New Year's corporate party with my colleagues. He invited me to a dance, then exchanged numbers.

What's next

Roman was born on January 24, 1989 in the village of Novosilka, Pidhaitsky district, graduated from a local school. After that, he entered the Ternopil National Economic University for the specialty "Banking". After graduation, he worked in the construction industry in Ukraine and abroad.

Після загибелі чоловіка жінка долучилася до волонтерської ініціативи «Вшануй» (Укрінформ писав про цю ініціативу тут), учасники якої опікуються похованнями захисників, які не мають рідних. Також Марія здійснила велике бажання чоловіка, який дуже хотів, щоб вона повернулася у спорт.
