A large family of Ukrainian military was killed in Odesa as a result of a massive strike of the Russian Armed Forces.
This was reported by Suspilne.
The bodies of Oleh, Tetiana and their seven-month-old daughter Lisa were found under the rubble. Relatives of the victims note that the search for two more children continues - the minors are considered missing.
Oleh and Tetiana Kravets met in the service. Later, the woman left the army to take care of her little daughter. Oleh was the only son of his parents, as his brother was killed in 2014 in the fighting for Donbas.
"He is my husband Vitaliy's best friend. They served together. He just wished him a happy birthday. Oleh's father is also a soldier. Zhenya died ten years ago, he was 27 years old. It's a pity. A very good family," said a close family friend.
Little Lisa was the only common child of the couple, and on February 29 she was only seven months old. Tetiana had three more children from a previous marriage - nine-year-old Serhiy and eight-year-old Zlata are still being searched for under the rubble. The eldest boy Volodymyr went to his grandparents, so he survived.
Another friend of the deceased Tetiana says that the State Emergency Service workers were inspecting the ruins of the soldiers' apartment. Rescuers called them, but no one answered.
At 13:54, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released an update on the consequences of the Russian Armed Forces' strike on Odesa. As of now, 10 people have been killed in the shelling, including three children.
"Mark, who is not even three years old yet, Yelyzaveta, eight months old, and Tymofiy, four months old. Ukrainian children are Russia's military targets. That's who these monsters are fighting. My condolences to all the families and friends," the Head of State added.
