He studied at the Hrebinka secondary school in Poltava Oblast, central Ukraine. In 2004, he graduated from the Kyiv National University of Culture and Art. He later performed at the Berehynia Theatre in Kyiv.

"Everyone will remember him as a kind, decent, talented, sincere and honest person, a loving and caring son, and a loyal comrade who was always eager to help his friends," Vitalii Kolisnichenko, the Mayor of Hrebinka, posted on Facebook. "He cherished his family and valued friendship and his relationships with his brothers-in-arms.

May the hero's soul rest in peace and honour!"
