“Vitaly Gulyaev died. This is a person I know well and is very close to me. I feel personal loss and sudden emptiness,” Poroshenko wrote.

According to Poroshenko, Gulyaev was preparing for a counter-offensive.

“Vitaly was preparing for a counteroffensive. We must continue his work. Help the Armed Forces even more. Unite the world around Ukraine even more strongly. Beat the enemy even more powerfully in order to cleanse him from Ukrainian soil,” the politician called.

Poroshenko also appealed to the Odessa City Council to support his party’s initiative to rename one of the city streets in honor of the deceased colonel.

_{Gulyaev has fought on the front line since 2014. He was appointed to the post of commander of the Odessa 28th brigade in September 2021.}
