Details: Roman Moskalenko graduated from the Bohomolets National Medical University in 2009. He worked at Dobrobut for nine years.
"Yesterday, his family, friends and colleagues held on to hope all day. They believed he might still be found alive, but overnight, rescue workers recovered his body from under the rubble," Dobrobut stated.
They described Roman as a deeply compassionate and attentive person – "to patients, colleagues, to everyone".
The deaths of Vitalii and Vlada Raboshchuk were reported by Nippon Kempo Ukraine, the Japanese martial arts school where Vitalii trained.
"To this moment, the news still feels like a terrible mistake. It’s impossible to accept. Words can’t convey the grief and sorrow. It’s like a nightmare," the school wrote.
