Details: The news outlet said that one of the people killed in the Russian attack was 3-year-old Tymofii.
People tried to resuscitate Tymofii, but his mother Valeriia said that he did not make it. The child's parents were nearby at the time. Tymofii’s pulse was barely audible. The boy was taken away by an ambulance.
At the time of the explosion, Tymofii and his grandmother were returning home from the playground. His mother Valeriia was at home at the time, but after the attack, she immediately ran outside to her family.
"Tymofiiko [derivative of Tymofii - ed.] was a very energetic child, fascinated by space and space rockets. He loved to collect ladybirds and various beetles," Valeriia recalls.
