From the very beginning of the war, Artur Vinogradov has been involved in volunteer activities. He has delivered humanitarian aid and evacuated hundreds of people from the most dangerous areas under constant shelling. He started working with our rescue network last summer. Later, his young wife Daryna joined him.
Artur was responsible for evacuations in the Kupyansk direction. He always left his phone number and personally took all calls from people who needed help. After the evacuation, he helped people with basic necessities. If Arthur saw that people were leaving with only slippers or old sneakers, he always took them to the warehouse and found a new pair of shoes there. Daryna was always by her husband’s side. She took on the task of registering the evacuees, recording the data on her laptop.

Artur was very reserved in his emotions, even silent. But he was the undisputed leader of his Kharkiv team. His colleagues remember him as a very responsible, determined and courageous volunteer. He was never afraid to go to frontline villages and towns to save people. He was the first to get permission to travel to de-occupied Vovchansk when the town was still mined. He was one of the first to go there to bring humanitarian aid to people and evacuate the most vulnerable.
Arthur had a very big and kind heart. Above all, he loved his wife Daryna and his children. Our boys recall how the young couple even wanted to adopt one evacuated child who had no parents. Arthur was always the first to persuade his parents to agree to the evacuation to save their children.

Arthur and Daryna got married in August 2022. They had a very tender romantic relationship. Their friends and colleagues say that the couple was so inseparable that they seemed to be one. They lived at an incredible pace, as if they were trying to do much more than they could physically do.
Arthur was only 27 years old, Daryna was 23. Today at 7 am Arthur was planning to leave for evacuation to Kupyansk.
May the memory of Artur and Daryna, true heroes of our time, who gave their all to their work, giving people kindness and help. Our deepest condolences to their families and friends…
