At Kyiv's towering crematorium, baby-faced teenagers wept over the coffin of their friend, a 17-year-old killed with his parents by a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian capital last week.

Danylo Khudia, his mother Viktoria and his father Oleg were among 12 people killed when a ballistic missile ripped into a Kyiv residential area at dawn.
