The “wonderful” Ukrainian primary school teacher and her one-year-old daughter, killed in a Russian drone strike in a park, were photographed as their loved ones grappled with “indescribable grief”.
Inna Mariukhna and baby Angelina were two of six people who died in the Russian attack on Nova Vodolaha in Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine, with another graphic photo earlier showing the child lying dead in her stroller.
The deaths of the two men were acknowledged in a touching Facebook statement posted by the primary school where Inna worked.
“It is with deep sadness and indescribable grief that the staff of Novovodolazskyi High School No. 1 mourn the tragic death of teacher Inna Mariukhna and her daughter Angelina,” the school said.
“No words can express the despair caused by this irreparable loss. It is difficult to believe that two lives were cut short and dreams and hopes that had not yet been realized and fulfilled were extinguished.”
The school described Inna as a “wonderful teacher who opened the world of knowledge to little ones, taught them their first steps in life and gave children all the warmth of her heart.”
He also shared the undated photo of the mother and daughter laughing and smiling together.
Angelina was killed in her stroller during Monday’s attack by a Russian ‘Shahed’ drone, while her mother was rushed to hospital but died from her injuries.
The park was then full of families and children.
An 11-year-old girl was also killed in the attack, along with three women.
Fifteen other people were injured, including seven children.
Tuesday was declared a day of mourning in Nova Vodolaha, Ukrainian media Pravda reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared footage of the attack, calling it a “pure atrocity” in an article on X.
“These are horrific photos, but behind them are broken lives and the truth about this war,” he wrote.
“We demand that sanctions against Russia remain in force as long as the massacres continue. We ask America to be strong and we ask it to implement the Lindsey Graham Act,” Zelensky added.
