He was fighting for the piece of land where he was born, and he gave his life for it. He is our Friend, our Colleague, our Defender. He was always smiling, always knew how to joke and find words that made everyone smile and see the positive. We were all waiting for his return from the front, and he would joke: ‘Well, Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours, so just wait a little longer.’ Dima was a person of light, a person of positivity, a person who would never leave anyone behind,” said Svitlana Panyushkina, the head of the media platform.
Biendikov began his career at 1+1 media in June 2023, and in July 2024, he joined the Security and Defense Forces ranks. He served in the Third Assault Brigade and died while performing a combat mission in eastern Ukraine.
The head of TSN.ua added that Biendikov was utterly dedicated to his work, never leaving his shift until all important news was published on the site.
“His shift was in the evening, but you could see him at night too, because he believed it was necessary to finish the work. It was always easy and reliable with him. He always controlled everything, and I am sure it was the same at the front. I always relied on him, and I am convinced that his comrades did, too. We must remember everyone who gave their lives for us. And also not forget those whose loved ones have lost the meaning of life,” Svitlana added.
His mother, Hanna Semenivna, survives Biendikov. For those who wish to support her, the bank card number is provided: 4441 1111 2246 4674.
