In November, little Veronika would have been 3 years old.

An inquisitive, intelligent, kind girl was killed by a Russian missile along with her mother Olga.

The tragedy happened on the night of April 28, when they were sleeping. Relatives still cannot recover from grief...

During that night, Russian military launched a missile attack on various cities of Ukraine. One of the shells hit a private residential building in Dnipro, where Veronika and her mother Olha, who also died, were sleeping peacefully. Veronica's grandparents were hospitalized.

"Olya and Nika were bright girls. Mother and daughter moved to her parents' house – she thought it would be safer there than in an apartment in a high-rise building. But unfortunately, a Russian missile killed them...," said the aunt of the deceased, Tetiana Bilash.

Little Veronica was the family's favorite. She grew up as a lively girl who was interested in everything. She had a lot of toys. In the private house where she lived lately, there were cats and dogs, and Nika loved them very much.

"Rest in peace, my angels, I love you very much," said Tatiana.

Veronica is survived by her father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle and aunt.
