Vladimir was a civilian casualty of the Russian war in Ukraine. The Nesterenko family was fleeing across the Dnipro river, hoping to reach a safer location after their village was taken over by Russian forces. Their small evacuation boat came under fire from Russian missiles; Oleh was killed in the boat, falling over his wife and shielding her from the attack. His young son Vladimir was gravely wounded, and died in the hospital.
Vladimir is remembered as a lively young boy who loved to play basketball, and idolized Michael Jordan.
