Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov expressed his condolences to Leonid Kadenyuk’s relatives and friends in connection with his death
Today, the first Ukrainian astronaut Leonid Kadenyuk - a man-legend, a man-deed, passed away. He devoted all his life to Ukraine and did so much for it to remain a space-faring state.
The news about his sudden death is impossible to
realize. This is an incredible loss for the whole Ukraine. I express my sincere
condolences to his relatives and friends. May the memory of him live forever...
