Anastasia Stoluk, 10
Anastasia, also known as Nastya, was killed in Shybene, a village about 40 miles north of Kyiv, on 28 February. The soldiers refused to allow her mother, Luba, to go to the cemetery so she was buried in the yard, her cousin Anya Stoluk, 18, told the Times.
Anya’s mother, Vera Dmitrienko, told the paper that drunk Russian soldiers had started shooting after a Ukrainian teenage boy found a gun and fired it in the air: “They shot into Nastya’s house, she was there with her uncle, and she died immediately. Her uncle was taken to hospital and we still don’t have any information from him.”
Tatiana Perebyynis and her children, Alise and Nikita
A 43-year-old woman and her two children were killed by Russian forces as they fled the city of Irpin, on the outskirts of Kyiv.
Serhiy Perebyynis shared images of his wife and their daughter, nine, and son, 18, on Facebook and wrote that the Russians “took them all”. He added: “Tanya couldn’t make it. I’m on my way, I must see you one last time. Forgive me, I didn’t cover you.”
Tatiana was described as an adored colleague by staff at SE Ranking, where she worked as the accounts department manager, the Telegraph reported.
It has been reported that the mother and two children were the three people photographed lying dead on a roadside after Russian artillery began shelling Irpin on 6 March.
Semyon, five
Five-year-old Semyon died in hospital last week, days after the death of his older sister Polina, the first identified child victim of the war. The boy was travelling in a car with his family trying to escape Kyiv on Saturday 26 February when Russian troops shot them all. Polina, 10, and their parents, Anton Kudrin and Svetlana Zapadynskaya, died instantly.
He was taken to Okhmatdyt children’s hospital but died from his injuries on Wednesday 3 March, a family friend told the Daily Telegraph. His 13-year-old sister Sofia remained in a critical condition in another hospital, unaware that her entire family had died, the paper reported.
Arseniy and Marina Kalabin
Arseniy Kalabin, 14, died after being hit in the head by a piece of shrapnel as Russian forces shelled the town of Kukhari on 25 February, the second day of the invasion.
After the war broke out, his parents, Tanya and Vitaliy, had sent him to live with relatives in the village, 50 miles from Kyiv, hoping he would be safer there, the Times reported. An ambulance came to the village to try to take him to hospital but was turned away. He died from his injuries two hours later.
His aunt Marina, 39, a paediatric anaesthetist, travelled from Kyiv to retrieve his body, according to the paper. But as she was driving home with the boy’s parents, she was killed when Russian troops attacked her car. Relatives have not been able to recover her body. But Tanya and Vitaliy Kalabin returned to Kukhari, now occupied by the Russians, and buried their son there.
Yuriy Prilipko
Yuriy Prilipko, 61, the mayor of the town of Hostomel, north-west of Kyiv, was called a hero after he was shot dead by Russian forces. He had been helping his fellow villagers by handing out bread and medicine, MailOnline reported.
Hostomel’s town council paid tribute to him in a post on social media. It said: “He never refused help to anyone. No one forced him to go under the bullets of the occupiers. He could, like hundreds of others, sit in the cellar. And he made his choice. He died for the community, he died for Hostomel, he died as a hero.”
