Russia-Ukraine updates: Russian missiles hit close to nuclear reactors: IAEA director

A funeral service was held Sunday for a 4-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was among two dozen Ukrainian civilian's killed last week in a Russian missile attack in the west-central Ukrainian town of Vinnytsia.

During the open-casket funeral for Liza Dmytrieva, a Ukrainian Orthodox priest broke down in tears as he told the little girl's father and other relatives, "evil cannot win," according to The Associated Press.

Liza was pushing a stroller in a park as she and her mother were headed to a speech therapist appointment when the attack unfolded Thursday afternoon in Vinnytsia, a city close to the front lines in west-central Ukraine, officials said.

The girl and 23 others Ukrainian civilians were killed, including two boys ages 7 and 8. At least 200 other civilians, including Liza's mother, were injured, officials said.

People packed the 18th-century Transfiguration Cathedral in Vinnytsia for the girl's funeral. The child's mother, Iryna Dmytrieva, 33, remains in grave condition in a hospital and her family said they have not been able to tell her about the death of her daughter, according to The Associated Press.

"Look, my flower! Look how many people came to you," Liza’s grandmother, Larysa Dmytryshyna, said, as she caressed the child lying in an open casket filled with teddy bears and flowers.

Orthodox priest Vitalii Holoskevych gave the eulogy at Liza's funeral struggling through tears.

“I didn’t know Liza, but no person can go through this with calm because every burial is grief for each of us," Holoskevych said. "We are losing our brothers and sisters."

At least three people were killed and another 15 injured in a missile strike on Dnipro Friday, officials said.

There was extensive destruction in the city after the strike, Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram.

Ukraine's Air Force Command said the attack on Dnipro was launched from the Caspian Sea area by Russian strategic bombers. Four cruise missiles were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, though several others hit the city, it said.

The Pentagon has no reason to doubt reports that submarine-launched missiles were used in Russia's missile attack on Vinnytsia on Thursday, a senior U.S. military official told reporters.

The attack killed 23 people, including three children.

The Pentagon has no sign of a military target in the area that Russia could have been aiming for, the official said.

"That looked like an apartment building," the official said, adding there's "no indication" of a military target "anywhere near that."

The official estimated, based on open-source reporting, that 100 to 150 civilians have been killed by Russian strikes over the last two weeks.

The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl killed in Thursday’s Russian missile attack in Vinnytsia told ABC News, “They took the most precious [person] I had in my life.”

Four-year-old Liza was among 23 people, including three children, killed in the strike.

Liza’s grandmother, Larysa Dmytryshyna, called her a “wonderfully sunny child.”

"She was the most wonderful girl in the world and it is so painful that her mother cannot even bury her,” she said.

Asked how she feels about Russia, Dmytryshyna, replied, "I hate them all.”

"We did not ask them to come here. They have caused so much sorrow,” she said of the Russians. "I would give my own life to extinguish the entire country.”
