Friends, we urge you to support the petition to grant the honorary title of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously) to Hennadii Afanasiev, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a former political prisoner of the Kremlin.
Let us recall that Hennadii Afanasiev opposed the occupation of Crimea by Russian troops back in 2014, for which he was arrested and illegally convicted. He subsequently managed to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory during an exchange in 2016. After his release, Hennadii became one of the leaders of the movement for the liberation of Ukrainian political prisoners.
In 2022, Hennadii volunteered and went to the frontline to fight for victory.
He died in the Luhansk region near Bilohorivka, receiving the Order of Courage, III degree.
Join the petition, we recognize his contribution to the fight for the independence and freedom of Ukraine.
