Oleksiy Vadaturskyi, the founder and owner of Ukraine’s largest agricultural company Nibulon, and his wife were killed as a result of a Russian attack in the city of Nikoaiv in southern Ukraine, Ukrainian Pravda and Sky News reported.
Oleksiy Vadaturskyi and his wife Raisa died after their house was hit by Russian missiles, local governor Vitaly Kim reported on his Telegram channel.
“Today our city lost its hero. Hero of Ukraine, CEO of Nibulon company Oleksiy Vadaturskyi and his wife Raisa Mykhailivna died tragically during the bombing of the city last night,” wrote Kim.
According to the Ukrainian official, Vadatursky “did a lot” for Mykolaiv and for Ukraine, and his contribution to the development of the agricultural and shipbuilding industries was “priceless.”
