This media file captures an outdoor memorial display in Irpin, Ukraine, set against an overcast winter sky. The ground is partially covered with snow, and bare trees are visible in the background. The central subjects are several tall, rectangular memorial stands, each featuring a large black-and-white portrait of a fallen Ukrainian soldier in military uniform. The stands are decorated at their bases with small black pots containing evergreen sprigs and red berries, alongside miniature Ukrainian flags. The most prominent stand displays the portrait of **Андрій Опанасенко (Andrii Opanasenko)**. The accompanying text reads: "52 роки" (52 years old), and his life dates are listed as "07.12.1971 – 03.10.2024." Further details state: "в/ч А4609 ЗСУ. Андрій Опанасенко героїчно загинув 3 жовтня 2004 року під час виконання бойового завдання поблизу населеного пункту Гусво Курщини." (Military unit A4609 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Andrii Opanasenko heroically died on October 3, 2004, while performing a combat mission near the settlement of Husove, Kurshchyna.) This text has an inconsistency between the listed death year (2024 vs 2004) and his age. The stand concludes with a powerful message: "ВІЧНА СЛАВА, ЧЕСТЬ ТА ШАНА ГЕРОЮ-ЗАХИСНИКУ! НАЗАВЖДИ В СТРОЮ!" (ETERNAL GLORY, HONOR AND RESPECT TO THE HERO-DEFENDER! FOREVER IN FORMATION!). A QR code is also visible on this stand. Another stand, partially visible, honors **Михайло Мацелик (Mykhailo Matselyk)**, stating his age as "23 роки" (23 years old) and life dates as "25.11.2000 – 29.09.2824" (with "2824" being an apparent typo). Further in the background, a stand for **Вадим Жорс (Vadym Zhors)**, aged "20 років" (20 years old) with birth date "18.04.1994," can be seen. All visible banners include variations of the "ETERNAL GLORY" tribute. The memorial conveys a somber and respectful atmosphere, commemorating soldiers who died in service. The snow on the ground suggests a cold, possibly late autumn or winter day. One stand also bears the text "Книга Пам'яті" (Book of Memory).
