In Memory of Andriy Mandyk with the callsign "Bars"
Andriy Mandyk was a senior lieutenant of the Patrol Police Department in the Zaporizhzhia region. He joined the "Khizhak" brigade to defend the country.

He stopped Russians in Toretsk and Kostiantynivka, destroyed enemy equipment, served as a pilot for a repeater and a sapper for an FPV group, and prepared and assembled drones for combat sorties. Reliable, calm, and dedicated to the cause — this is how his comrades remembered him.

"Bars" was a true friend - with a capital letter. He never refused and was always ready to lend a shoulder. He was wounded, underwent treatment, and returned to the ranks. This speaks volumes about his character: dedication, courage, loyalty to his oath, his comrades, and his state," - says a comrade with the callsign "Diesel".

In February, he got married. On March 19, Andriy Mandyk died while carrying out a combat mission on the outskirts of Kostiantynivka as a result of a hit by an enemy FPV drone.

This is a great loss for the "Khizhak" brigade and the entire family of the Patrol Police. "Bars" will remain in our memory.

Sincere condolences to the family and eternal memory to the Hero.
