He was only three years old😭
Born during Russia’s full-scale invasion, he never had the chance to know what peace feels like.
The war he was born into is the war that killed him.
A Kherson resident I know shared this photo: "Artillery just hit our neighborhood. One shell hit a playground.
A family I knew well was there. The father of four was killed. The mother and youngest daughter are hospitalized, in critical condition."
Russians do this. Every day.

Terrifying video of Russian glide bomb striking right next to a typical café in Kramatorsk yesterday. No military purpose, pure terrorism.
Please watch this video and listen to the sound. This is the daily life of ordinary Ukrainian civilians in towns and cities, not only in Kramatorsk, but in dozens of places, from small villages to big cities.
Russia must be stopped, and Ukraine needs all possible help to get it done.
Spent another horrible night in shelter in Kyiv. Agressor russia attacked the capital hardest. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded.
russia is a terrorist state.
Soon the russian war criminals will face the Tribunal. 🇪🇪Estonia will do all to make it happen.
Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.
It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.
Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.
It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.
We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”
Estonian Embassy in Kyiv lowered flags today in solidarity with people of Kyiv on the Day of Mourning 🕯️
We mourn together with Ukrainians the tragic loss of 24 people, including 3 children after barbaric russian attack.
A rescue operation is currently underway in Kyiv at the site of a Russian drone strike on a nine-story residential building – an entire section of the building has been completely destroyed. Dozens of people have been rescued. Tragically, one person has been killed. My condolences to their family and loved ones. People may still be trapped under the rubble.
Overnight, the Russians launched more than 670 attack drones and 56 missiles against Ukraine. Ballistic, aeroballistic, and cruise missiles were used in the strikes. The main target of this attack was Kyiv. There is damage at twenty locations across the city – ordinary residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic, and other purely civilian infrastructure. Destruction has also been reported in the Kyiv region, while similar terrorist strikes targeted energy infrastructure in Kremenchuk, as well as port and residential areas in Chornomorsk.
In total, since midnight yesterday, Russia has used more than 1,560 drones against our cities and communities. These are definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end. It is important that partners do not remain silent about this strike. And it is equally important to continue supporting the protection of our skies. The PURL initiative is needed so that Ukraine can defend itself against ballistic strikes like these. And likewise, in the interests of everyone seeking peace, pressure on Russia must continue. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.
Yesterday, Ukrainian forces were at launch positions, fully prepared to strike the Kremlin and Red Square.
They were ordered to stand down at the very last moment after Putin begged Trump for a ceasefire to avoid falling into the mud.
He got a ceasefire. We agreed to no strategic strikes against Russia FOR 3 DAYS!!!
And what did Russians do? They hit a high-rise building in Kharkiv on that very “parade” day. A little child is among the victims.
It’s always a bad idea to pity Russians and agree to their conditions. They will always act in the most disgusting and dirty way.
Today the Venice Biennale opens and Russia has spent millions parading their “culture” at a shiny pavilion.
In reality, they bombed over 2,600 hospitals, maternity wards, and schools since 2022.
That’s Russian culture.
Russian methodology for deporting Ukrainian children.
Russia has a special methodology for kidnapping children from Ukraine. According to Falcon Flight organization, children are told that their parents have abandoned them, russians split them up with friends every two months and say that they will never return home.
"All the children we have managed to return talk about what they were told about their families. They all had the same period of time - exactly 4 weeks later, they would start talking about how your parents left you, you would not return home. It was a methodology, everything was written there, the deadlines, that you had to talk to a child alone, that you had to separate them every 2 months so that they would not have a sense of unity, so that they would not unite. This is the most widespread scenario of child abduction today."
“Children are subjected to the same filtration procedure as adults. They are forced to undress during the inspection, forced to give away personal belongings and phones, and are not allowed to answer any questions.”
"Where is my mom? Where did you take her?" A child who gets to a filtration event is instantly deprived of dignity. They try to break him or her right away."
I thank every state and leader who supported Ukraine’s proposal for a full ceasefire. Russia responded to it only with new strikes and attacks. Throughout the entire day, almost every hour, reports of strikes have been coming in from different regions of Ukraine.
Ukraine will act in kind. Depending on the situation overnight and tomorrow, we will also determine our fully justified responses.
Russia has received from us a clear proposal on silence of the guns and diplomacy – and knows how to contact Ukraine or our partners in order to coordinate the details.
If the one person in Moscow who cannot live without war cares only about one parade and nothing else, that’s a different story. Ukraine is ready to work for peace. Ukraine seeks to end this war with dignity. Russia has fought to the point where even its main parade now depends on us. This is a clear signal: Enough is enough.
Over 30 people were killed by Russian strikes in a little more than a day. No reaction, no coverage, not even condemnation. Nothing. If people were blown to bits anywhere else in Europe, there would be gigantic coverage, outrage, and help. But not in Ukraine.
