In the east of Ukraine, a Finnish volunteer with a call sign "Sip" was killed in the battles with Russian invaders. He served as a part of the 1st infantry platoon of the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Information on the death of a physician came from an organization that was coordinated by international volunteers.
"Sipa abandoned all his property to come to Ukraine and fight for peace, even despite his mother's resistance. He had a goal, and he did not depart from her. Sipa became a Finnish hero who looked, protecting the values he believed in," the statement said.
Which area of the front is the tragedy, it is not specified at this time. It is known that it is already a sixth citizen of Finland who died in the war in Ukraine, supporting the fight against Russian aggression.
The previous dead volunteer was Vilee Mukkyanen, who fought for the freedom of Ukraine and died in August 2023.
