In a heart-wrenching event that has drawn international attention, a family of five from the #Belgorod Oblast was killed in Kharkiv, Ukraine, following a Russian drone attack on February 9, 2024. The victims, Olha, Hryhoriy, Oleksiy, 4-year-old Mykhailo, and baby Pavlo, were reportedly burned alive in their home. Tetyana Putyatina, who lost her son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren in the attack, has called for the footage of the funeral to be shown widely, stating, "everything hurts inside watching this." The attack, which utilized drones, has been described as an act of terror by many, including the victims' family members. During the funeral, there were calls for Russia to see the consequences of its actions, highlighting the loss of the Putiatin family, which included three boys, the youngest of whom was just a baby. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice, with demands for all Russian war criminals to be prosecuted. Hundreds attended the funeral, underscoring the community's grief and solidarity.
