The death toll of a deadly Russian ballistic rocket attack in the hometown of Kryvyi Rig of Volodymyr Zelensky has risen on Friday to 19, including nine children.
Online photos of the photos showed bodies of the dead and wounded lying on the sidewalk when gray smoke stood in heaven.
Among the dead was a tragic boy, 'Timofiyko', three years old.
Images showed him to be performed from an area near a playground that was hit by the Russian rocket while rescuers tried to resuscitate him at night.
At the time of the explosion, he and his grandmother returned from the playground.
His mother Valeria ran to her family to witness the hell of Putin's attack.
There was hope that he could be saved – but he died of wounds in the brutal strike.
“Timofiyko was a very energetic child, he was passionate about space and room roofs,” said his desperate mother as she shared photos of her beloved child.
“He really liked collecting ladybugs and various beetles.”

Zelensky blamed the daily strikes of Russia's daily strikes to end the war
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on Friday that it had carried out a very accurate rocket attack with a high explosive core head in a restaurant where a meeting with commanders of unity and Western instructors took place.
Russian army claimed that the strike killed 85 soldiers and foreign officers and destroyed 20 vehicles. The arms of the army could not be verified independently. The Ukrainian General Staff rejected the claims.
A later drone attack on Kryvyi Rih killed a woman and injured seven other people.
Zensky blamed the daily strikes of the unwillingness of Russia to end the war: “Every rocket, every drone attack proves that Russia wants war alone,” he said, and urged the allies of Ukraine to enhance the pressure on Moscow and Ukraine's airtack.
“The United States, Europe and the rest of the world have enough power to have Russia leave for fear and war,” he said.
