Quote: "Today, as a result of the horrific overnight attack, we lost three of our children. 

These pupils from our lyceum – 11th-grade student Roman, 6th-grade student Tamara and 3rd-grade student Stanislav – will never come to their classrooms, sit at their desks or smile at their friends again […] Their lives have been cut short by the war."

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko had reported that the children were all from the same family. Their parents were injured in the attack and are currently in hospital. The children's mother sustained severe injuries.
