Well-known Kherson volunteer becomes a victim of a Russian drone

A volunteer from Kherson, Iryna Bayrachenko, was killed by a Russian drone. Her schoolgirl daughter Margarita was left without a mother.

The tragic loss was reported by the administration of Antonivska school No. 18, where the girl studied.

"We express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of our dear student Margarita Bayrachenko on the tragic loss of her mother. Iryna Oleksandrivna was an extraordinary person, a loving mother and a loyal friend. Her vital energy, warmth and boundless love for her child will forever remain in the memory of all who had the honor of knowing her," the statement said.

The educational institution said that Iryna Bayrachenko's life was cut short by shelling by Russian drones.

Iryna Bayrachenko took care of the elderly and stray animals in Kindiytsia, which were left unattended in the village. The village is constantly under fire from the occupiers from the left bank of the Kherson region, who use drones to hunt for civilians.
