President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians not to fall for Russia’s attempts
to scare them with warnings of horrendous missile attacks to come, which he said
were aimed at dividing Ukrainian society.
“It’s clear that no Russian missiles or artillery will be able to break our unity or lead
us away from our path toward a democratic, independent Ukraine,” he said in his
nightly video address to the nation. “And it is also clear that Ukrainian unity cannot
be broken by lies or intimidation, fakes or conspiracy theories.”
On Sunday in central Ukraine, relatives and friends attended a funeral for
Liza Dmytrieva, a 4-year-old girl killed Thursday in a Russian missile strike.
The girl with Down syndrome was en route to see a speech therapist with her
mother when the missiles struck the city of Vinnytsia. At least 24 people were killed,
including Liza and two boys, ages 7 and 8. More than 200 others were wounded,
including Liza’s mother, who remains in an intensive care unit.
“I didn’t know Liza, but no person can go through this with calm,” priest
Vitalii Holoskevych said, bursting into tears as Liza’s body lay in a coffin
with flowers and teddy bears in the 18th-century Transfiguration Cathedral in
Vinnytsia.
‘’We know that evil cannot win,’ he added.
In the Kharkiv region, at least three civilians were killed and three more were
injured Saturday in a pre-dawn Russian strike on the city of Chuhuiv, just 120
kilometers (75 miles) from the Russian border, police said.
Lyudmila Krekshina, who lives in the apartment building that was hit, said
a husband and wife were killed as well as an elderly man who lived on the ground
floor.
Another resident said she was lucky to have survived.
“I was going to run and hide in the bathroom. I didn’t make it and that’s what saved
me,” said Valentina Bushuyeva. Pointing to her destroyed apartment, she said:
“There’s the bathroom — explosion. Kitchen — half a room. And I survived because
I stayed put.”
