On Wednesday, three days after Roman Rak and Mykola Mykytiuk were buried in Starychi, the villagers came together to say goodbye. They were soldiers, men in their late 40s and early 50s, who were on a trip. Loved ones and soldiers, many of whom were their own age and had a few extra pounds, were the first to cry. According to Ms Semidyanova’s family, she was killed by a shot to the stomach, but her body hasn’t been found because of ongoing fighting in the area. This has left her family very sad.

At the Regional Intensive Care Hospital; Russian soldiers took about 400 people from nearby homes and put them there as human shields; along with about 100 patients and staff. Iryna Vereshchuk, a deputy prime minister in Ukraine; said she was shocked by what was happening. They made a video to tell the world about the things they had seen in the attack on Mariupol, which is still going on. One person said:

“We don’t want to be heroes and martyrs after we die.”

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24; Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that an estimated 1,300 of his country’s soldiers have been killed. The true number isn’t known. It’s been confirmed that 691 civilians have been killed in Ukraine; and another 1,143 have been injured, the UN Human Rights Office said on Tuesday. But the UN says that the true number of civilians killed is likely to be a lot higher; because of the intense fighting in some places and the time it takes to report the deaths. Three million people have fled Ukraine, the UN says.
