Mourners gathered Sunday in a Kyiv neighborhood to bury 24-year-old Nadiia Yakymenko Halych and her 2-year-old daughter, Anhelina, killed in a recent Russian missile strike on the capital.

Neighbors, relatives and friends brought flowers and stood beside the two coffins, grieving the young mother and her child.

Children came to say their last goodbye too.

“They were in the corridor near their room, and it hit their room directly. It was impossible to survive there,” said Yuliia Semena, a classmate of Nadia's sister.

The funeral came amid an intensification of Russia's air assault on Ukraine.

On Thursday a rare airstrike on central Kyiv killed 23 and damaged European Union diplomatic offices.

The attacks came less than two weeks after a presidential summit between Donald Trump of the United States and Vladimir Putin of Russia that marked the end of Putin's diplomatic isolation in the West but yielded few details on how the war might end.

Ukraine’s European allies have accused Putin of dragging his feet in peace efforts and avoiding serious negotiations while Russian troops move deeper into the country.
