Kyiv teenagers mourn their friend killed by Russian missile (PHOTOS)
On a sunny but chilly Monday, after class had already started in Kyiv schools, scores of grim-faced teens filled a crematorium hall at Kyiv's main cemetery instead. They had come to say goodbye to their friend and classmate Danylo Khudia, a 17-year-old whose coffin stood next to those of his parents, Viktoriia and Oleh, around the fire pit where their bodies would be cremated after the farewell ceremony. The Khudia family was asleep at home when a Russian missile struck their apartment building on April 24, killing 13 people in Russia's deadliest attack on Ukraine's capital in almost a year. Danylo's younger sister, 14-year-old Yana, was the only person in the family who survived the strike. A video of her dusty, expressionless face gazing out from the wreckage, while first responders struggled to lift the concrete slabs and pleaded, 'Hold on, Yanochka, we'll surely get you out,' went viral online. Yana couldn't come to the funeral of her parents and brother on April 28 due to her injuries. Her two surviving older siblings, a brother and sister in their early 20s, stood in the front row, opposite a teenage girl with long brown hair – Danylo's girlfriend, whose mother had to hold her up with an arm around her waist as she approached the caskets. 'Danylo was the brightest person I had known in my eighteen years,' said one young man when everyone was invited to say something about the family. When short speeches were said between the towering crematorium walls and the priest had finished the rites, hundreds of people slowly flowed past the coffins, leaving flowers and speaking to the dead one last time. One soldier put scarlet red carnations on Oleh's casket, who was also a soldier and had been recovering from a battle wound at home. Young boys whose chins had little more than peach fuzz came up to Danylo's casket to place flowers, as Danylo's grandmother in a wheelchair cried out next to them: 'Dania, Dania! Why?' For most of the ceremony, Danylo's closest male friends looked stoic, standing in a close-knit group behind his surviving relatives. But when Danylo's casket was lowered inside the fire pit, following the caskets of his parents, many young men covered their faces, biting back tears and clutching each other's shoulders. After the strike, Danylo's friends had stayed behind the red tape cordoning off the wreckage for the whole day, hoping he'd be found alive. 'We were recording videos: 'C'mon, Dania, we're waiting for you!' Or writing to him,' said Varvara Shustova, 15, a member of Danylo's friend group. 'No one believed that he had died at first.' 'I couldn't ever believe that it could happen to us. To Dania. That all of us will be going through this together,' she told the Kyiv Independent after the funeral.

Kyiv bids farewell to 17-year-old Danylo and his parents, victims of Russian attack
Kyiv says goodbye to the family who died in the massive Russian attack on the night of 23-24 April – 17-year-old Danylo Khudei, as well as his parents, Viktoriia and Oleh. Source: Suspilne Details: Hundreds of people gathered for the ceremony at the Baikove Cemetery crematorium, as reported by Suspilne. The family lived in the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv, on the first floor of the apartment building that was hit by a Russian missile. Danylo's younger sister, Yana, survived and is in the hospital. The teenager also has an older sister. "Yana is now in the hospital; the best doctors are taking care of her. She is conscious, but her leg is broken, the ligaments in her other leg are torn, and her rib is broken. She is now in a stable condition. She really wanted to come yesterday, she even started getting up despite the pain, forcing herself. She actually got up yesterday. The doctors said it was not necessary and did not let her go," said Andrii, a friend of the family. He lives next door to the apartment building destroyed by the Russian missile and admits that he too was injured in the attack. He remembers the deceased family with great fondness. "It was an incredible family. They were such people that you could even go to their house without calling; they were happy to see you. Uncle Oleh always said: "If you need anything, just tell me and I'll come". Dania also helped out a lot when I was feeling unwell. He would run and buy medicine and bring it to me," says a family friend. Danylo's teachers and fellow students came to say goodbye to Danylo, Viktoriia and Oleh. He was studying at the Kyiv Aviation Vocational College, majoring in Aviation and Rocket and Space Engineering. Danylo's friend Oleksandr says that he wanted to become an aircraft electrician and restore Antonov An-225 Mriia. Many people came to say goodbye to the victims. Photo: Suspilne. Kyiv Friends say that the 17-year-old boy was fond of sports and loved aviation. Danylo's friends say that his father was a military man: he served as a tanker from 2022, was later injured and underwent rehabilitation. Two weeks before the tragedy, he came home, said Danylo's group curator, deputy director of the college, Dmytro Shevchenko. Russian attack on the night of 23-24 April: what is known On the night of 23-24 April, Russia fired 215 missiles of various types and drones at Ukraine. Most of them were used to attack Kyiv, where an entire neighbourhood was damaged. On the morning of 25 April, rescue workers completed search and rescue operations. The attack injured nearly 90 people and killed 12 others. The Russian missile took the lives of brother and sister, 21-year-old Nikita and 19-year-old Sofiia. They were the children of Yaroslav Kozlov, a neurologist at the University Clinic of the Kyiv National University. Later, it was reported that the number of victims of the attack on the capital had increased to 13 people – on 28 April, Tymur Tkachenko, Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, said that a 45-year-old man had died in hospital from burns. He is survived by a young daughter and a 6-year-old grandson. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

‘Still standing': Local Ukrainian community gathers in prayer on eve of Russian invasion anniversary
PARMA, Ohio (WJW) – The Ukrainian community of greater Cleveland gathered in prayer Sunday night at St. Andrew Ukrainian Catholic Church in Parma. The service was led by Bishop Bohdan Danylo, who told Fox 8 his message was one of hope on the eve of the third anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine. President Trump calls Zelenskyy a 'dictator' in social media post 'All the communities across the world are reminding the world that Ukraine is still standing. Ukraine is fighting, but Ukraine is with hope,' Danylo said. As talks of a potential peace deal continue, Bishop Danylo believes a better tomorrow is coming, but he wants a peace deal to reflect the fact that Russia began the conflict by invading Ukraine. He said the people of his country, which he's visited around a dozen times since the conflict began, are tired after three years of air strikes, gunfire, and having to seek safe shelters constantly. 'I'm a man of faith. I hope we'll be good. It's not late. We are still in a time of preparation of the peace deal, but the most important thing is that peace will be, as I mentioned, just and built on truth because only peace built on truth and justice can sustain time,' he explained. Additionally, Danylo took time to mention the thousands of Ukrainians who found a home in Northeast Ohio after fleeing the war. Pope Francis remains in critical condition with early kidney failure 'Northeast Ohio became one of the larger centers and it's thanks to our community, both Ukrainian, but especially the loving community of Northeast Ohio. We are neighbors to a lot of them, and they found work. They found a place to raise their family. You all know, Ohio is a beautiful place to raise families,' Danylo said.
