The bombing of Ukraine had already begun but Ilya and Yuliia Tregubov could not quite bring themselves to leave.
The couple, both 40, lived in Dnipro, a picturesque city in central Ukraine, with their 14-year-old daughter, Asya. Ilya was a psychiatrist at a Jewish medical center and Yuliia managed business centers.
They enjoyed a tranquil life strolling along the city's riverbank or simply watching Netflix together. They vacationed in a summer home just outside Dnipro where they'd pick fruit from apricot, apple, and cherry trees.
