The National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) supported the initiative of the Cherkasy community and the military to name one of the streets in Cherkasy in honor of the Junior Lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), scientist, journalist, and PR manager Volodymyr Mukan, who was killed in Bakhmut on April 29, 2023.

“I am sincerely grateful to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine and [its President] Sergiy Tomilenko for supporting the petition of chaplain Volodymyr Pedko, approved by the military and the city community, to name a street in Cherkasy in honor of the soldier and journalist Volodymyr Mukan! I hope to see the street named after this bright person… Eternal memory to him!” Cherkasy journalist Andrii Kravets wrote on Facebook.

Volodymyr, 35, managed to do a lot for Cherkasy, the city where he was born and grew up. His name appeared in many publications of all-Ukrainian mass media. The NUJU believes that any street in Cherkasy can be named in honor of Volodymyr Mukan.
