Yegor “Green” Mukha is a fan of the football club “Veres” (Rivne), a representative of the team “Rivne Red-Black”.

Yegor Alexandrovich Mukha was born on January 18, 2004 in the city of Rivne, in a family of railway workers. He studied in the city schools No. 1 and No. 26, and also completed his studies at the Rivne Children's Railway. After that, he acquired the specialty of assistant driver of diesel locomotive and electric locomotive in the Kozyatyn Interregional VPU of Railway Transport. Since childhood, he was fond of football and therefore very betrayed when he joined the youth football team “Veres” in 2013.

As a small boy of 5-6 years old, he dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, like his grandfather, whom he respected and loved very much. Due to the fact that his family is large, Egor loved his older sister and younger brothers, tried to help and support them in everything.

He first appeared in the fan sector at the age of 16, but did not like the word “fan”. Egor was more like-minded and a fan of the local football club. According to the memories of his teammates, he joined the team “Rivne Red Black” because at that time there were already two of his most colorful friends - “Lefty” and “Omerika”.

They recall the story from one trip to the friendly movement of Rivnyans. - “We gather at the railway station, get on the train, and here Yegora carried. We guessed that he was interested in trains, but to that extent. We listened with curiosity for three hours about the different models and differences of diesel locomotives. He knew more than a conductor. Over time, they wanted to break into the driver so that Yegor showed all the drivers how to move. There were no scuffles with the track workers, but at one of the stops he put on a driver's shirt and almost got into the cab.” (c)

At a more mature age, he began to actively engage in various sports, for example, cycling, in particular tricks on BMX. He loved nature and was fond of hiking in the mountains, together with friends he passed the Borzhava ridge. He enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of nature and drew strength from it.

Yegor loved to read historical novels and detective stories, his favorite book was “The Steppe Wolf” by Herman Hesse. He rescued and treated injured animals and even birds, was fond of ornithology. Participated in eco-actions to clean parks from household garbage, once collected household waste on Glory Hill.

According to the memories of relatives, on the day of the beginning of a full-scale war, Yegor was released home earlier. He had celebrated his 18th birthday only a month before, but immediately told loved ones that he planned to join the army. He said that he had to protect the family and simply could not hide in the basements. Having organized the departure of his mother and two younger brothers to Bulgaria thanks to the football club “Veres”, from the fourth day of the full-scale invasion, Egor was already in the army.

At first he served on the border, there he became the commander of the detachment. But all this time I tried to transfer to another part to take part in the fighting. Constantly maintained his fitness and prepared for the transfer, which took place only for the fourth time. Green joined Da Vinci's Wolf Battalion, a Wild Field unit. He admired the legendary commander Dmitry “Da Vinci” Kotsyubail and managed to serve under his command.

For conscientious performance of official duties and exemplary military discipline, he was awarded diplomas. In a very short time he became the commander of the detachment. Yegor took courses in launching and controlling UAV. I received a driver's license, because in the war you need to be able to do everything to the maximum.

He received his first injury on March 30, 2023, but even the wounded man was able to pull out the wounded brother on himself, saving his life. He stayed in the hospital for only three days, realizing that he needed his brothers and not time to “lie down”.

The brothers say that “Green” never threw his own. On one of the outings, in direct contact with the Wagners, his group engaged in active combat. During the battle, the enemy threw a grenade directly under his feet, Egor was not confused and jumped with his body into the trench, but from the explosion he received severe wounds to his brother. Then Egor quickly threw grenades at the orcs and began to drag his brothers along a trench half a kilometer long, saving his life. This is just one example of Egor's courage. Friends in arms will remember him as a purposeful, loyal and disciplined fighter.

The mother of the deceased Warrior recalls that on May 19 she walked near the Avangard stadium with his younger brothers, they later agreed to go to the match of the “Veres” together. Yegor Mukha died on May 20, 2023 while performing a combat mission in the village of Khromovo near Bakhmut.
