Quote from Chubenko: “The memorial dinner was timed to the reburial of the deceased Ukrainian soldier. Before that, he was buried in Dnipro city, and his relatives wanted to hold a reburial in the village he came from. The burial was organised by the deceased soldier’s family, namely the son and wife. The son of the reburied man was also a military man. The son, along with his wife and mother, were in a cafe and were killed in the missile strike.”
