The Ukrainian mother brutally killed on Sunday along with her two children in Irpin, not far from Kiev, has been identified. The New York Post reports that it is Tatiana Perebeynos, an IT worker who had not fled before her because she was taking care of her sick mother. Perebeynos, her two children Alise and Nikita, and a man they were traveling with, were killed when Russian forces fired mortars (VIDEO).
The image of the family lying dead on the sidewalk has caught the world’s attention, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised to hunt down and kill “every bastard” responsible for their death. Mikita Mikado, an investor in the startup where the woman worked, posted the image on Facebook and confirmed her death. “Unfortunately, her family could not leave Irpin before her because of her sick mother,” he wrote in a post commemorating his murdered mother and urging her followers to donate for recovery efforts in Ukraine.
“There are no words to describe our pain or to repair our pain. But it is vital for us not to let Tania and her children Alise and Nikita remain just statistics. Her family was the victim of the unprovoked fire on civilians, which according to any law it is a crime against humanity “, added the man. “The Russian army is criminal and should be stopped. Our hearts are broken. Our prayers are for all Ukrainians, who are fighting for their right to exist.”
