Family, friends and colleagues laid to rest a Ukrainian boxing coach killed in a Russian missile attack that tore the outer wall off the apartment where he had recently celebrated his daughter’s fourth birthday – with images of its yellow kitchen going viral after the blast.
A recent family video showed his daughter smiling and blowing out candles on her birthday cake while Korenovskyi stood behind her in the kitchen, holding another child in his arms.
The kitchen’s external wall has now gone, leaving the room exposed to the elements. Its modern yellow units are clearly visible from outside but chairs, a table, a bowl of fruit and household items such as a microwave remain undisturbed.
Hundreds of mourners attended the memorial service for Mykhailo Korenovskyi, one of at least 44 people killed in the attack on Dnipro in east-central Ukraine.
