Twin sisters killed in missile attack on Kramatorsk buried in Dobropillia

"These girls should have celebrated their 15th birthday in August. Twin sisters Anna and Yulia Aksenchenkos were killed by a Russian missile the invaders purposefully launched at the center of Kramatorsk... The girls came to the city for a short time... Today people said goodbye to them in Dobropillia..." the Svoyi online magazine posted on Facebook.

Danish photographer Jan Grarup also wrote about this on his Instagram. He specified that the twin girls were buried in Dobropillia by their mother Olga Aksenchenko, a surgeon working at the hospital.

"The family left Kramatorsk when the war broke out – but this day, they came to the city to visit their mother in the hospital together with their father – before leaving they decided to go and eat a pizza before returning to the village," Grarup wrote under photos taken at the girls' burial.

As reported, Russian troops launched two missile strikes on Kramatorsk on the evening of June 27. One missile hit the Ria pizzeria in the city center. A 17-year-old girl and two 14-year-old sisters were among the killed. The second missile hit the village of Bilenke.
