The number of civilians killed in Ukraine during the Russian occupation is increasing every day.
As of Sunday, Ukraine’s human rights commissioner said the number of civilian casualties was 210, including children.
Five members of the same family died in southern Ukraine on the first day of the war as Russian troops advanced on the Crimean town of Kherson, which they took from Ukraine eight years ago.
The circumstances are unclear, but the family is said to have been trying to escape the Russian attack with two cars when they were bombed near Nova Kakhovka, outside Kherson.
Oleg Fedko had decided to remove his family from the area, but while on duty in Kherson, his father, also named Oleg Fedko went to help and the family left in two cars.
The grandparents of the 56-year-old children died along with his wife Irina and two children, Sofia who was six years old and Ivan who was only a few weeks old.
More than 450 km from the Russian border in southeastern Ukraine, the country’s ethnic Greek population suffered a double tragedy.
Greeks have lived in Ukraine since ancient times and the government in Athens says they number about 150,000. Two villages were hit, Sartana on the outskirts of Mariupol and Buhas about 65km north.
