As of 1 October 2025, there were 1,562 centenarians in Ukraine (1,309 women and 251 men). The oldest, just like last year, is Kateryna Kots (b. 3 October 1916) of Staryi Chortoryisk, Volyn Oblast (source). Besides her, the oldest residents include a 108-year-old woman, seven 107-year-old women and two 107-year-old men (source).
One of the latter two (probably the second-oldest man), is painter Ilya Brovdy (b. 13 September 1918) of Kolchino (source). He is now the oldest person in Zakarpattia Oblast (source), meaning the region's (and Ukraine's) previous oldest (unidentified) man (b. 3 November 1917) of Irshava passed away in the past year.
Kateryna Kots on her 109th birthday in October 2025.
Ilya Brovdy on his 107th birthday in September 2025.
Best wishes to Kateryna, Ilya, and all their compatriots in these difficult times.

I think that other mentioned 107-year-old-man is Grigory Pavlovich Verlanov (b. 14 Apr 1918), of Donetsk Oblast:

@shippingforshiping2312 And the 108-year-old woman could be Olena Rybalko (b. 3 June 1917) of Lviv (source).
Of course, the birthdates of those born in the Russian Empire might have to be slightly altered due to the Julian–Gregorian change (Brovdy was born in Austria-Hungary though).

Grigory Pavlovich Verlanov died around August 23.
He was the oldest known man in Ukraine at the time of his death, and would have been the 52nd oldest European man if he had died today.

Tomi, do you have any idea which month or between which months he would have passed away? His name was Mykhaylo, I remember seeing news about him, I even posted about him here, but unfortunately I didn't have his last name to be able to know more about him.
He must have died between October 2024 and October 2025, right?
