On Wednesday, 26 August, in Mykolaiv they bade farewell to Senior Sergeant of Police Vadym Domaiev. The 40-year-old law enforcement officer died from severe wounds sustained during an attack by a Russian strike drone.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
Vadym Domaiev served in law enforcement for almost 20 years. In the summer of 2024 he joined the special-purpose police battalion «Striletskyi» of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kherson Oblast.
Recently the officer was working almost daily as part of a mobile fire group that defended Kherson from enemy drones.

“The entire police staff of Kherson Oblast bows its heads in mourning and expresses sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of their fallen colleague. He will forever be 40 years old. Eternal bright memory to the defender of Ukraine! Forever in the ranks…”
