Photographer, media producer, ‘Ukraїner’ project participant, and press officer of the 35th Separate Marine Brigade Kostiantyn Huzenko has been killed in action.

The news was announced on Facebook by journalist and ‘Ukraїner’ founder Bohdan Lohvynenko, Ukrinform reports.

“I met Kostia in 2020, when he joined ‘Ukraїner’ as a photographer. We traveled together most often in 2022 and 2023 — to the South, East, and North. In all the not-so-safe corners of our homeland, Kostia was never afraid to go anywhere. Later, he joined the marines himself,” Lohvynenko wrote.

According to him, Huzenko was killed on Sunday, November 2.

Lohvynenko quoted Kostiantyn’s own words about the project:

“For me, ‘Ukraїner’ is, above all, a community united by a great and inspiring idea, to which everyone contributes in their own way. When I film during expeditions, I know I’m in the right place. It’s even hard to call it work — there’s so much genuine collaboration in it that it’s pure joy.”
