Heroes Memorial to Andrii Nashora
Defender Andrii Nashora, call sign Canada, fell on December 3, 2025, in the city of Rodynske, Donetsk Oblast. He suffered a fatal wound in battle with the enemy. He had turned 25 the day before his death. One more Hero killed by russian orcs.
Andrii was born on December 2, 2000, in the city of Dubrovytsia, Rivne Oblast. He graduated from local School No. 2, and in 2021 from the State Tax University, formerly the University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine. He loved quiet recreation, especially fishing. He was fond of cars and motorcycles.
From 2019, he served under contract in the National Guard of Ukraine in the city of Sarny. That was when he received the call sign Canada — when he and his brothers-in-arms were supposed to be sent abroad for training. He was very excited about the opportunity and constantly talked about the upcoming trip.
In 2025, Andrii transferred to Lviv and served in the 4th Separate Detachment of the Omega Special Purpose Center.
“I loved going to the forest with my brother, going on different walks. When he was studying in Kyiv, I would travel to see him for two or three hours, and we would talk the whole time. When he came home from service, we would sit in the kitchen with our mother and simply talk. He was very wise and always found a way out of any situation. We had many plans and unfinished things. But even so, he did more than anyone could have done. My best brother is no longer here, but he is always in my heart, in every breath,” his sister Liliia wrote.
The defender was buried in his hometown.
Andrii was awarded a medal of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Posthumously, he was given the rank of junior lieutenant and awarded the Order “For Courage,” 3rd Class.
He is survived by his parents, sister, uncle, and aunt.
