A bright and eternal memory to the hero Yurii Toporov, colleague and defender of Ukraine

With deepest sorrow, we announce the irreparable loss of our colleague and defender of Ukraine – Yurii Toporov. 

On 21 January 2024, while carrying out a combat mission in the Zaporizhzhia sector, Yurii Oleksandrovych Toporov went missing in action. He had taken up arms to defend his Homeland at the very start of the full-scale war. Only in June 2025, during the exchange of fallen soldiers, it was confirmed that on that very day he gave his life for the freedom and independence of Ukraine.

Yurii worked at Ukproduct Group within the companies Zhivyi Kvas LLC and Starokostiantyniv Dairy Plant (branch in Zhytomyr), as a production equipment technician. He was a conscientious, responsible and highly skilled specialist, always devoted to his work.

Open, kind-hearted and sincere, Yurii was a caring son and the pride of his family. Regrettably, he didn’t have the opportunity to establish a family of his own, as his life was cut short by the war.

The team of Ukproduct Group extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends, loved ones and comrades of the fallen.

Heroes never die. Eternal glory and memory to the Hero!
