On March 19, Russian troops shelled Kherson once again, killing 25-year-old volunteer Oleksandr Ivakhnenko. He was helping local residents restore windows in a house that had suffered from previous attacks by the occupiers.

This was reported by his friends on social media.

"Our volunteer friend was killed in today's shelling. He was closing the windows after the previous arrivals. Sasha's father died in the winter, and he lived with his aunt. Now she is left all alone," wrote Anastasia, a friend of the deceased.

According to the MOST media outlet, Oleksandr worked as a conductor-controller at Khersonelectrotrans. He survived the occupation and torture, but returned to help the city

During the Russian occupation of Kherson, Oleksandr was engaged in volunteering, including delivering humanitarian aid. For this, the occupiers detained and beat him. After that, he left the city.
Despite his experiences, after the liberation of Kherson, he returned and continued to help the residents.

On January 15, a volunteer from Kherson, Iryna Bayrachenko, was killed by a Russian drone. Her schoolgirl daughter Margarita was left without a mother.

On January 14, a 56-year-old nurse of a local outpatient clinic was killed in the suburb of Kherson, Antonivka, as a result of Russian shelling.

On January 8, Roman Matviychuk, the head of one of the neighborhood committees of the Korabelny district of Kherson, was killed in Naddnipryanske by a Russian drone attack. The Russian military attacked a car with a drone, in which 71-year-old Roman Matviychuk was with the driver.

On January 6, an ecologist of the city council, Volodymyr Shum, is killed in a Russian drone attack on a bus in Kherson.

On December 1, volunteer Rimma Baranenko was killed in Kherson. She was among the passengers of a bus on which Russian terrorists dropped explosives from a drone in the morning.‍
