The article recounts the tragic story of Viktor and Olha Boiko, an elderly couple who were killed by a Russian missile in Sumy, Ukraine, while heading to church. The attack not only claimed their lives but also devastated the surrounding area, with numerous casualties and destruction to local buildings. Their family, overcome with grief, expressed their anger and desire for revenge against those responsible for the violence. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the personal losses experienced in war, particularly the irreplaceable void left by the deaths of loved ones.
"...the Boikos were on their way to church to celebrate Palm Sunday. They went by public transport. Their bus, No 62, was driving down Petropavlivska Street when a missile plunged down from the sky..."
Anatolii Prykhodko, Viktor's brother-in-law, expressed his anguish: "Give me a weapon. Any weapon. I want to kill those butchers in Moscow... If you lose a person, a loved one, they are gone for ever."
