Two weeks after the tragedy, the burial of 17-year-old Maksym Bogutsky, who was killed by a Russian missile along with other 45 residents, took place in Dnipro.

Military photographer and blogger Oksana Johannesson announced this on Instagram.

On that tragic day, January 14, when the Russians fired a rocket at a high-rise building in Dnipro, Maksym's parents - 45-year-old Dmytro and 47-year-old Tatyana - were visiting.

The teenager stayed at home.

The only thing the couple has left in memory of their 17-year-old son is an apron that Maksym gave them in memory of his first scholarship.

"I met his parents for the first time on the second day of the rescue work - they had such great hope in their eyes. They showed their house on the 7th floor, or rather only the kitchen, all that was left of it, and said - "see, there is still a green an apron on the refrigerator, a gift from my son from the first scholarship." The next day, they persuaded the rescuers to get this thing out of the wreckage," the blogger said.

Nothing was left of the family's apartment and car, all things, and most importantly photos, turned into ashes.

"We were a very friendly family. Maksym was always with us. I always thought - how lucky I was with my son. He had a great sense of humor, he loved to cook and learn new things," said the dead boy's mother.

"The burial itself was difficult: they buried him with a sheet covered. Tatyana often held the coffin, looked at his portrait in the distance. Everyone around was sobbing, and she repeated "you can't cry, don't cry, Maxim always forbade it." At one point, Tatyana almost lost consciousness, she was barely picked up by her husband. At the end, the priests also did not hide their tears," the blogger noted.

We will remind that during a massive missile attack on January 14, one of the Russian missiles hit a high-rise building in Dnipro.

As a result of the attack, 46 people died.

Among them are three children. 

Ukraine did not have time to recover from the heavy loss in the Dnipro, when the country was shaken by a new grief.

On January 18, a helicopter crashed in Brovary near Kyiv.

A total of 14 people died, including one child.

Among the victims are the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine: Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, State Secretary Yurii Lubkovich and First Deputy Minister Yevhen Yenin.
