What is known about the victims
Seventeen-year-old Maryna Hryshko was a third-year student at Kyiv Energy Vocational College. Her father, a serviceman, was forced yesterday together with his wife to identify the body of their deceased daughter. Maryna lived in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district.
Olena Chala suffered shrapnel wounds while running to a shelter during the attack. She lived in the Holosiivskyi district of the capital.
Fourteen-year-old Nazarii Koval was an eighth-grade student at Lyceum No. 127 in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district.
"Nazarii was a bright, cheerful child who dreamed and made plans for the future. His life was cut short by this brutal war," the lyceum wrote in a tribute.
Yana Shapoval, together with her husband and son, lived on the fifth floor of a building that was completely destroyed by a Russian missile in the Darnytskyi district.
The woman was killed, her son and husband survived and are in hospital.
After the overnight attack, the woman’s mother, Kateryna, learned of the tragedy. She came to the ruins of the home where her daughter, son-in-law and grandson had once lived, and said she found out about the loss while she was at the family’s dacha. She had hoped until the last that Yana had survived, but her son-in-law called to inform her of his wife’s death.
As a result of Russia’s attack, Oksana Protsiuk, a physician specializing in physical and rehabilitation medicine and a neurologist at the medical rehabilitation center of Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1, was killed.
"Oksana Mykolaivna was not only a good doctor, a true professional, a charming woman, a caring wife and mother, and the pride of our team, but also a true friend to us and a source of support for her patients. Her honesty, kindness, sincerity, responsibility, care and wisdom were an example for her colleagues. She did not just guide our team — she inspired us every day. Her path was filled with a love of life and a desire to help everyone who turned to her," her colleagues at Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1 said.
