Kirill Volodymyrovych Nizhnik was born on July 13, 2001 in Siverskodonetsk.
Since childhood, he was sincere, active and purposeful. He loved sports, played football and dance, and repeatedly won prizes. He was a boy with a lively heart and strong will.
Kyrylo studied to be a mechanic, choosing a profession associated with work, responsibility, and the ability to create.

In 2019, he signed a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In September 2025, Kirill married his beloved Tatyana, and in the same year the young couple became happy parents - their daughter Emilia was born.

On January 23, Kirill, having courageously fulfilled his military duty in battle with the Russian occupier, was seriously wounded near the settlement of Mykolaipylya in the Donetsk region, and on January 26, his heart stopped forever.

The Defender was seen off on his last journey in the Mankivska territorial community: https://www.facebook.com/share/1ai6M5kQYd/?mibextid=wwXIfr

We bow our heads in deep sorrow and express our condolences to family, loved ones, friends, and brothers and sisters.
Eternal memory to Hero Kirill. Eternal glory to the Defender of Ukraine.
