🌳 A square named after the Hero of Ukraine, scout Oleg Babii, will appear in the Lviv district of Sykhiv.

📃 The corresponding decision was adopted by the deputies of the Lviv City Council on July 4, 2024.

👤 Oleg Babii is an officer of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, who made 9 successful sorties into the deep rear of the enemy. Planned and coordinated 12 successful special operations involving representatives of the resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. More than 70 strategic military facilities of the aggressor state were discovered on the lands captured by the Muscovites.

❗️ In August 2023, Oleg Babi's group covered 600 kilometers on foot to neutralize three Tu-22M3 strategic bombers on enemy territory: one was completely destroyed, two were damaged and disabled.

⚔️ On the way back, the group of scouts encountered the enemy. 33-year-old lieutenant colonel Oleg Babii covered the departure of his subordinates and died in a battle with russian invaders.

🫡 Awarded the Gold Star of the Hero of Ukraine and the military rank of colonel (posthumously).

▫️ The graduate of the National Academy of Land Forces named after Hetman Sagaidachny in Lvivt is survived by his wife and two children.

🙏 We express our gratitude to the community and representatives of the local self-government of Lviv for honoring the memory of Oleg Babii.

🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
