19-year-old Vital from Grodno went to fight against Ukraine. It all ended very quickly
Vital Shashko died a month after signing the contract.
Vital Shashko
Vital Shashko from Grodno signed a contract with the Russian army on July 27, 2026. He was 19 years old.
On September 1, Vital went on a combat mission and did not make contact again. Initially, he was considered missing.
But Artyom Adamenia, a close friend of Shashko, managed to report on social media — citing Vital's own brother — that the guy had died. This friend really had to hurry — because Artyom himself is being taken to a medical-labor prophylactic clinic as a chronic alcoholic day after day.
The idea of going to war was Vital's own decision, because he "was tired of life."
From signing the contract to the last contact, 36 days passed. There is no information about where exactly Shashko died.
