This is an incredibly tragic situation, and there’s really no other way to describe it. This war is absolutely brutal, and in war, people who should be alive end up dead.
Prudky was 30 years old and should have been focused on much more pleasant things than trying to fight off Russian invaders.

Arguably the most tragic part is that Prudky leaves behind a wife and two kids, according to the TMZ report. The average person can’t even begin to imagine the kind of trauma death in combat leaves on a family.
