“My friend, brother-in-arms, and commander died… Kot Igor Ivanovich. Whom I’ve known for many years. From the first days, he went to defend us and the state. He fought the enemy at the Vasylkiv airport, then Bucha, Irpin, Donetsk Oblast; death overtook him in the Kharkiv Oblast… He was the best commander, a loyal friend, and a cheerful and brave person. He laughed at death and always supported the entire unit. Today, our major is no more. He died defending Ukraine”, – wrote his comrade Alexey.
Igor is survived by his parents, wife, and son.
