Hundreds of Ukrainians are coming to honor the memory of the fallen Ukrainian poet and soldier Maxym Kryvtsov (33), known by the call sign ''Dali'', and to say goodbye to him. Maksym became the author of the book ''Poems from the loophole'', which was recognized as one of the best Ukrainian books of 2023. He took part in the Revolution of Dignity and then volunteered to go to the front in 2014. Maxym fought as part of the 5th battalion of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps ''Right Sector'' and with the ''Da Vinci Wolves''. Until 2019, he served as a senior machine gunner in the Rapid Response Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine ''Rubizh''. Maxym rejoined the Ukrainian army as a volunteer in 2022 when the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began. During the farewell, Maxim's poems, read by his voice, are sounding on Independence Square in Kyiv. (Photo by STR/NurPhoto)
