Forever in the ranks

According to МВС: During the defense of Chernihiv on March 28, 2022, border guard Anton Myahky fell. He was a master sergeant of the border service and one of those who first met the enemy with fire on the border of Chernihiv region on February 24, 2022. While carrying out a combat mission, a vehicle with a border patrol got caught in an ambush of an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group.

In the fierce battle that unfolded that day, the occupiers used heavy and anti-tank weapons. Anton Myahky suffered a fatal injury during the desperate defense of the approaches to Chernihiv. His heroism and bravery will remain in memory, as he gave his life for the protection of his homeland.
