Today, the Russians destroyed an ordinary house of an ordinary family in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih in our Dnipropetrovsk region with a ballistic missile strike. It was the Voronov family. This was reported by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as reported by UNN.
"There are children here. Very many children"
The details of the tragedy caused by the russian federation in the Dnipropetrovsk region were shared by First Lady Olena Zelenska.
"There are children here. Very many children" – these words were spoken tonight over the ruins of a house in the village of Radushne near Kryvyi Rih. The large Voronov family lived here. Until today, a Russian Iskander-M missile, launched from the territory of the Voronezh region of the russian federation, struck there
According to the First Lady, at the time of the strike, there were children in the house: Mark (17 years old), Dominika (15 years old), Viorika (14 years old), Zakharii (12 years old), Azarii Ilai (11 years old), Veronika (10 years old), Emilia (6 years old), and grandson Artem (one and a half years old), whose father is currently defending Ukraine.
Three children were pulled from the rubble already dead. The Russian strike also killed the parents – 47-year-old Artem and his 41-year-old wife Olena. The deaths of five more children have not been officially confirmed; expert examinations will be needed. The Russians killed an entire family. Again
It was the Voronov family
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy later added that as of now, it is known for certain that the parents and three children died: Mark, Azarii Ilai, and Emilia Voronov.
Today, the Russians destroyed an ordinary house of an ordinary family in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih in our Dnipropetrovsk region with a ballistic missile strike. It was the Voronov family: mother Olena, father Artem, seven children – Mark, Dominika, Zakharii, Azarii Ilai, Federika, Emilia, Viorika, and one-and-a-half-year-old grandson Artem – the child of their eldest son, who is currently defending Ukraine. As of now, it is known for certain that the parents and three children died: Mark, Azarii Ilai, and Emilia. The Russian missile strike was so powerful that almost nothing was left of the house… Fragments of human bodies were found under the rubble, and only expert examinations can determine which family members the bodies belong to. The fate of Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federika, and Artem is currently being determined. A terrible crime of the Russian war against Ukraine – against ordinary people, against ordinary life
According to the President, this Russian evil can only be stopped by the whole world together. No one in the world can be left alone against such terror.
And when we say that Ukraine needs missiles for Patriots, when we seek capabilities to defend against Russian ballistic missiles, we are not talking about abstractions. We are talking precisely about such families, about precisely such people who could live if there is something to shoot down Russian missiles – if partners help with interceptors. Families that can die if there is nothing to stop Russian Iskanders
The Head of State emphasized that it is important for those who make decisions – decisions in the Pentagon, in European capitals, and everywhere in the world where there is an opportunity to help Ukraine protect lives – to see these people. Reality speaks for itself. Protection of life is needed. Missiles for air defense are needed.
Eternal memory to all Ukrainians who were killed by Russian strikes. Eternal gratitude to everyone who helps!
Reminder
