The rocket attack of the invaders on Zaporozhye on March 2 claimed the lives of the Furnikov family. Mom, dad and 8-month-old died under the rubble.

Details about the family that died as a result of the attack by the occupiers were told by the godfather of Kamila and Ilya Furnikov Anna.

On her Instagram, the woman said that she had been waiting at the entrance of the destroyed house for 2 days in the hope that her goddaughter and the parents of the child would be found alive. However, unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.

Pain, just pain, they mercilessly tore out the heart, broke and crippled the soul … A thousand words “for what”? Eternal memory and a wound for life … Light clouds to you, my little and forever smiling girl. I'm sorry that they didn't save it, – wrote the godfather of Kamila Anna.

The apartment in which the family lived was completely destroyed by a Russian missile. The bodies of the spouses and the child were pulled out from under the rubble by rescuers. The relatives of the victims did not want to believe until the very end that the young family was no more.

The family returned to Zaporozhye a few days before the tragedy

The public organization “Khortitskaya Guard” noted that at the beginning of the war, the Furnikov family left the occupied native village of Verbove in Zaporozhye. The couple lived for some time in the west of Ukraine. And Furniki returned to Zaporozhye a few days before the tragedy.
