The city of Lviv was struck with grief as the entire community came together for a series of funerals. It was a somber day, filled with heartbreak and sorrow as they laid to rest four beloved members of the Bazylevych family. The tragedy was caused by a Russian missile strike on civilians, leaving only one survivor - Yaroslav Bazylevych.
Yaroslav stood strong, surrounded by the open coffins of his wife Evgeniya and their three daughters - Yaryna, Darya, and Emilia. It was a devastating sight, one that no one could have ever imagined. The funeral service was held at the Garrison Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, where the family was laid to rest.
The community of Lviv came together to pay their respects to the Bazylevych family. Relatives, friends, soldiers, public figures, and ordinary citizens all gathered to say their final goodbyes. Many brought sunflowers, a symbol of Ukraine, to honor the family and show their support during this difficult time.
As the procession for the funeral began, Yaroslav silently watched as the coffins were carried to their final resting place. It was a heartbreaking moment, one that no one should ever have to experience. The Mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, expressed his condolences and anger towards Russia for causing such a tragedy.
He spoke of the eight funerals being held in Lviv on the same day, all caused by the actions of the Russian government. Among the victims were two soldiers and six civilians, including the Bazylevych family. Yaroslav was not alone, as the entire community stood by his side in this time of immense pain.
Yaryna, the eldest daughter, was a programme manager in the Lviv - Youth Capital of Europe 2025 office. Her sister Darya, just 18 years old, was a university student. And the youngest, Emilia, was only seven years old and a girl scout. Their lives were cut short in a senseless act of violence.
The city of Lviv will never forget the Bazylevych family and the tragedy they endured. They will be remembered as innocent victims of a cruel and unjust attack. May their souls rest in peace, and may their memory live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.
