Pavlo Petrychenko was born in Kyiv, participated in the Euromaidan, and later worked in the charity fund of Serhiy Prytula. He served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in aerial reconnaissance since 2022 and died on April 15, 2024, while on a combat mission in Avdiivka.

As a reminder, a charity auction featuring stars of Ukrainian sports took place in early March to raise funds for the 12th Special Purpose Brigade "Azov".
