00:21of the deadliest Russian strikes of the entire three-year war.

00:30I can't see her with my old teeth so I can't see her in my life.

00:46That's the main thing. That she will not come to us with the woman.

00:54Russia fired two missiles at the center of Sumi at a time when many were heading to church

01:03for Palm Sunday, a major Christian feast.

01:07Holding flowers and murmuring respectfully, friends and relatives formed a circle around

01:12a priest giving an eulogy in front of the building where the women lived.

01:16Natalia Chudesa struggled to step away from the coffin, caressing the face of her daughter-in-law,

01:22led in the open cascade.

01:25We keep together.

01:28We live in this area, far away.

01:33But we always ride on the beach with a river, with a marine, with a river, with a river,

01:39with a fishing, with a grass, with a fish, with a grass, with a river, with a river, with a river,

02:12I love her.

02:13I love her.

02:14I love her.

02:15I just started to realize how much I don't have enough of them, and how much I am and I

02:21love them.

02:22In the chaos following the attack, Irina, director of the school where Mariana worked, hoped she

02:32had survived as her body could not be found in the morgue.

02:36We went together with my mother to the basement and heard the explosion.

02:43And Mariana Alexandrovna, as I already said, was a very good and bright person.

02:48First and second, she took the course of medical help, and she left it immediately to help

02:54people.

02:55And that's it.

02:56The second explosion, and it didn't happen.

03:01At the entrance to the school where Mariana taught, a memorial was set up with flowers

03:06and a black and white photo of her smiling.

03:09Above it hung the portrait of a former school student killed in the war.

03:13At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.

03:20He had known Mariana since she was a girl.

03:23As her and his son were lost in the war.

03:26At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.

03:32At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.

03:39He had known Mariana since she was a girl.

03:41As her and his son Volodymyr had been childhood friends before falling in love.

03:46As her and his son Volodymyr said, Irina Olexeevna, that there is no one of my friends.

03:51I was not a friend of mine.

03:53I was not a friend of mine.

03:54I was not a friend of mine.

03:55When I came to my daughter, I didn't understand that.

03:57And then it came to me that it was Mariana.

04:00I said, how?

04:01There is no one.

04:02What happened?

04:03She died.

04:04I immediately put the door on the door, because I couldn't talk.

04:09For me it was just a shock.

04:11Standing next to the coffin, Irina called on the last mourners to pay their respects before

04:18it was closed and lowered into the ground.
