Russia killed 1.5-year-old Kirill Maxiuta along with his mom and dad in Pryluky. On that day, 22 people died. Kirill Maxiuta. 1 year and 5 months. On October 7, 2026, a Russian Kh-101 missile hit a residential building in Pryluky. Kirill died along with his mom Daria (23) and dad Oleksandr (32). A young family. The fourth floor. A normal morning. All three were under the rubble. In total, 22 people died that day, including 5 children. Three of them were one-year-old. This is not a "secondary casualty". This is a blow to the apartment where a 1.5-year-old boy was sleeping. Russia, what are you doing?
