The identities of a Ukrainian mother and her two children killed by Russian forces while trying to flee a Kyiv suburb Sunday were released Tuesday.
The mother, 43-year-old Tatyana Perebeynos, was an IT worker who did not leave the area earlier given the ailing condition of her mother, according to a report.
Her two children were identified as Alise, 9, and Nikita, 18.

The young family along with a man, believed to be a friend of the family or a family member, were killed after Russian forces fired on them while they attempted to flee Irpin.
The man was identified as Anatoly, a 28-year-old from Lugansk, but his relation to the family remains unconfirmed, according to Andriy Dubchak, a Ukrainian journalist who broke the story.

Images of their dead bodies were released to the public, infuriating the Ukrainian people and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“A family was killed in [Irpin] today. A man, a woman, and two children. Right on the road … when they were just trying to get out of town. To escape,” Zelensky said Sunday. “The whole family. How many such families have died in Ukraine! We will not forgive. We will not forget.”
“We will punish everyone who committed atrocities in this war. On our land. We will find every b****** which shot at our cities, our people. Which bombed our land. Which launched rockets. Which gave the order and pressed ‘start.'”
Zelensky summed up his anger in one sentence:
“There will be no quiet place on this Earth for you. … Except for the grave.”
