Among those present were residents of the building destroyed in the Darnytskyi district, neighbours, relatives, friends and classmates of the late Nadiia. She studied at Kyiv College of Tourism and Hotel Management and gave birth to her daughter in October 2022.
Nadiia’s former class teacher Nataliia said that the woman had been a good student. The teacher noted she was a cheerful and kind person who loved her younger sister.
"Nadiia was a very bright and kind person. She always helped everyone. I watched her grow up. There was not a single bad word that could be said about her," said Liudmyla, a resident of a neighbouring building.
Near the building damaged in the attack, Kyiv residents created an improvised memorial where people bring not only flowers but also toys.
