KYIV, Ukraine — When Ukrainian solider Viktor Ganich was given a brief leave from his military unit, he went to stay at the apartment of his mother and step-father in Kyiv.

Then came an early morning barrage of Russian drone attacks on the city.
One drone slammed into the apartment where Ganich was staying. He survived. His mother and step-father were killed.
