        “Unbearable pain. The parents lost two daughters as a result of this strike,” Hryhorov said.

        It is recalled that on March 28, Russian forces shelled a civilian house with artillery in the Znob-Novhorodske community of the Shostka district. At the time of the strike, two sisters were in the house.
