What was their crime?
💔 Pryluky.
Yesterday’s russian strike killed an entire family in their own apartment.
22 people were killed, including:
🕯 Maksym, 8
🕯 Iryna, 13
🕯 Yuliia, 37, their mother
🕯 Oleksandr, 39, their father
A family of four. Killed by ordinary russians.
The entire Maksiuta family were killed in a russian missile strike on an apartment building in Pryluky:
🕯️ Daria Maksiuta, born July 6, 2003
🕯️ Oleksandr Maksiuta, born September 20, 1994
🕯️ Kyrylo Maksiuta, born March 7, 2025 - their baby son, who was only a year and a half old.
Russia wiped them out in a single moment for being Ukrainians in their own home.
💔 A 65-year-old man came to a Kyiv underground passage with a chair to shelter from russia’s attack.
Minutes later, he collapsed and died.
His phone still showed the map of incoming missiles and drones.
He was watching death approach. It reached him.
We don’t hate russia enough.
He survived that hell, but lost everything. Seven Shaheds hit a single house.
Five-year-old Dmytryk burned to death in his bed.
This is not just another tragedy in the news. This is the story of the Kucher family, destroyed by russian drones in a single night.
On August 8, 2026, seven Shaheds struck one private house in the Kyiv region.
At that moment, the grandfather, grandmother, father, mother and two children — 15-year-old Vova and five-year-old Dmytro — were sleeping inside.
The older son went to the bathroom just before the first Shahed struck — and that saved his life.
The parents managed to run outside. But the grandfather and five-year-old Dmytryk remained on the second floor, surrounded by flames.
Then six more strikes followed. The grandfather and grandmother were killed in the yard. And Dmytryk burned to death in his bed.
Oleksandr, the father, survived. He is convinced that seven Shaheds hitting one house was not accidental, but a targeted killing of a serviceman’s family.
“My soul is here. I don’t know how I’ll go on. Forgive me, son. Forgive me.”
At the funeral, Oleksandr begged forgiveness from his five-year-old son and his dead parents. He still believes that his activities were the reason they were targeted — and that he is to blame.
Their neighbor was the last person to see the grandfather and grandmother alive in the yard. He saw the grandfather helping his wife lie down on the ground and holding her hand. A moment later, there was an explosion.
The victims’ eldest grandson, Yurii, learned about the tragedy in Spain at 4 a.m.
His five-year-old brother Dmytryk was the sunshine of the whole family.
The day before the tragedy, their grandmother told him words that would prove tragically prophetic:
“It flies so much here that you think every day could be your last.”
Oleksandr does not want his family to become dry statistics — “three killed, including one child.”
He wants the world to see their names and faces. He dreams of rebuilding this place and planting trees: a walnut tree where his father died, a magnolia for his mother, and something flowering for Dmytryk.
He tells everyone:
“Live the way you would want Dmytryk to live.”
He lost everything in a single night.
But as long as we remember their names, they are still alive.
- Duizenden mensen zitten vast in Oleshky.
- Geen voedsel, water of medicijnen.
- Humanitaire hulp wordt tegengehouden door de Russische bezetter.
Je zou meer media-aandacht verwachten voor een Holodomor 2.0, niet?
🇷🇺Officer Uldarov claimed that he had “cleared” a basement containing 300–400 civilians, including around 40 children, beneath a nine-story building. He said he “had no choice” because the order was to eliminate everyone.
Uldarov described it in his own words: “I carried out the order with this hand. I killed children. You understand — on orders.” He said their instructions were to wipe everyone out: women, men, pensioners, and even small children.
According to his account, the order attributed to Prigozhin was to “clean up” Bakhmut and spare no one — not the elderly, not women, not children.
Savichev gave an equally horrifying account of what allegedly happened in Soledar. He claimed that civilians were coming out and that the order was to immediately shoot everyone aged 15 and older. According to him, more than 20 people were killed, including teenagers.
I will do everything I can to make sure my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the generations after them never forget what Russia did in Ukraine — and what Russian soldiers themselves admitted doing.
The russians left his body on the road so someone would recognize him.
His name was Ivan Bauer. He was 13 years old.
Ivan never knew his father. He was killed in a car crash when Ivan’s mother was eight months pregnant. She raised him alone, with his sister.
Ivan loved football and fishing. At school, he was known for his drawings and his love of practical work.
He woke up at 6:30 every morning — even though school was two hours away — to chop wood, feed the geese and chickens, and help his family.
When his baby sister Katya was born, Ivan carried her, bathed her, and played with her until she fell asleep.
He was the kind of boy who helped everyone.
Every day, he also visited his grandmother Nadia, who was over 80, carrying water and helping around the house.
Then russia came.
When bombs fell from the sky and his mother covered him with her body, Ivan would calmly tell her:
“Mom, don’t. If it kills me, it kills me.”
On May 6, 2022, Ivan went to the well to bring water for his grandmother.
russian forces dropped cluster bombs on Izium.
The shrapnel tore Ivan apart.
His grandmother was killed too.
The russians took the boy’s body from the yard and left it on the road — so someone would recognize him. So children would see him and tell their parents.
His mother came for her son.
She brought him home, laid him in the garage, and spent the entire night beside his body.
The family made his coffin themselves.
They buried Ivan by making their way through gardens because the cemetery was under fire.
Today, his mother visits his grave whenever she can.
She says Ivan was her support.
“The best man in my life.”
He was just a 13-year-old boy.
He should have grown up.
Instead, russia left his body on a road in Izium.
His mother has to live with that for the rest of her life.
A father breaks down in tears upon learning that his son was found dead beneath the rubble of a multi-story residential building destroyed by a russian strike in Kyiv.
There are moments when I have no words left for this war. Only rage and paralyzing helplessness.
The baby boy in the rescuer’s arms was three months old. Last night, russia killed him.
In Marhanets, russia struck a residential building as civilians slept inside. Eleven others were injured, including two children. Seven are fighting for their lives in hospital.
Deze gast weet werkelijk niet waar hij over praat. Ongelooflijk dat zulke mensen een podium krijgen om met zoveel stelligheid te spreken, zonder enige serieuze kennis van het land, de regio, de geschiedenis en de politieke cultuur van Rusland. @WNLVandaag
"I've lost everyone. My parents. My brothers and sisters. My son..."
Ukrainian Defender Danylo Voronov lost his entire family in a Russian strike on Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region.
At the moment a Russian ballistic missile hit their home, his parents, seven brothers and sisters, and his 1.5-year-old son, Artem, were inside.
Danylo says Artem was a cheerful little boy who was always smiling and loved pressing the keys of a piano. His family believed he had a gift for music.
This is an unimaginable tragedy.
Deepest condolences to Danylo.
May he find the strength to endure this devastating loss.

Most people completely underestimate the insane, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone saw between 27,000 and 88,000 deaths in only three (3!) months.
Read that again and let it sink in
This is one of the most tragic stories.
This is Artur Asadov, a Ukrainian hero who died defending Ukraine, while his own father fights for russia. Both Artur and his father are from Donetsk.
Artur’s family has been torn apart since 2017, when his father joined the DNR while Artur served Ukraine. Artur tried to convince his father many times. But like many Ukrainians and people in the West, his father has been brainwashed by russian propaganda.
Painful as it is, Artur chose to join the Ukrainian army and fight, even knowing his father was on the other side, because it was the right thing to do.
This tragedy is entirely russia’s fault. russian propaganda has infiltrated the minds of millions, spreading lies about biolabs, neo-Nazis, American satanists, NATO aggression, and more. But the only enemy here is russian imperialism.
russia is a terrorist state. The world needs to recognize it and act accordingly.
This boy dreamed of a peaceful sky over Ukraine. But russia killed him. On April 14 in Cherkasy, 8-year-old Bohdan was playing at a playground with other children when russian Shahed drones struck nearby.
russia continues to kill innocent children, leaving their parents in grief and stealing their future.
Every day, the war in Ukraine claims more lives. Behind the numbers are stories like Tetiana’s — a grandmother who lost her son, his wife, and three grandchildren.
On 10 February, russian forces targeted a large fuel depot in the city using three Iran-made Shahed drones.
