Three toddlers and their father were killed in a Russian drone strike in eastern Ukraine that also injured their pregnant mother and their grandmother, local emergency services said. Volodymyr Belyi, the town’s mayor, said the strike was a “crime that is beyond human comprehension.”“We lost the most precious thing we had – our future. He said the children’s father, who was 34, died in the strike, while their mother and grandmother were “fighting for their lives” in hospital. The home where the family was staying was “completely destroyed” in the strike and subsequent fire, they added. “Each such Russian strike undermines confidence in everything that is being done diplomatically to end this war,” he said in a statement on Telegram.
