Pavlo Petrychenko was born in Kyiv and was a participant in EuroMaidan. Later, he worked at the charity fund of Serhiy Prytula. Since 2022, he served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in aerial reconnaissance. He lost his life on April 15, 2024, while performing a combat mission in Avdiivka.
It is worth noting that in early March, a charity auction took place featuring stars of Ukrainian sports, raising funds to support the 12th Special Purpose Brigade "Azov".
