A 31-year-old man, Dmytro Isaienko, was killed by a Russian missile attack on a high-rise building in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district yesterday. His parents, and the whole country, had been waiting for news of the boy since the morning and hoped for a miracle.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press service of the Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian State University, where Dmytro studied.
"RIP to Dmytro Isaienko... In these terrible days, the hearts of Ukrainians are torn with pain... This is a guy whose fate was followed by the whole country.
The one whose parents were standing by the ruins of the destroyed house and waiting for their son, were praying and did not leave... We all were praying with them. Their photographs went around the world, became a symbol of pain and hope..." the statement reads.
But the miracle did not happen.
It is also noted that Isaienko Dmytro Kostiantynovych was a 1st year master's student at the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Health, specialising in "Physical Culture and Sports (Human Health and Physical Recreation)".
He died under the rubble of his house as a result of another brutal russian attack.
"He was only 31. Young, bright, kind. Dmytro was a good friend, a worthy son, an inspirational person... He lived, studied, believed in life - until the war took him away," the post reads.
