According to the latest report by Anton Gerashchenko, a Ukrainian Patriot and Advisor to the Internal Affairs Minister (2021-2023), Ukrainians grieve every day due to the Russian attack.
“Russia killed three kids: two 1-year-old boys and a 2-year-old girl, and a 34-year-old man in a drone strike on a residential area in Bohodukhiv, Kharkiv region. Two more people were injured, including a 35-year-old pregnant woman,” Anton Gerashchenko stated.
The drone is said to have struck a home, destroying it completely. Another area under Russian attack is Vilniansk in the Zaporizhzhia region.
