The little brother of a schoolgirl who was shot dead alongside her parents by Russian troops has now also died in hospital.
Semyon, five, was in critical care in Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital for three days after his family was shot trying to flee the city of Kyiv as Russian forces attacked the area.
His parents, Anton Kurdrin and Svetlana Zapadyskaya, and older sister Polina, 10, were killed in the attack.

The only people in the group to survive the initial incident was Semyon and his older sister Sofia.
But now, Semyon has tragically died as a result of the attack, according to the Telegraph.
Meanwhile, Sofia, 13, is critically ill and unconscious - she is unaware that her whole family was murdered.
Earlier this week, a heartbreaking photo of a relative at Semyon's bedside in hospital was released as he was placed on a ventilator.
The young Polina was in her final year of primary school when she was murdered. A picture of the smiling schoolgirl was shared by Kyiv deputy mayor, Vladimir Bondarenko.
He said: "Her name was Polina. She studied in the 4th grade of school in Kyiv. She and her parents were shot by Russian DRG."
It is the latest in young casualties resulting from Russia's attack of Ukraine, only yesterday a tragic photo revealed the effects of the war in Ukrainian city Mariupol.
The photo shows a devastated father weeping over the body of his teenage son.
The father, known only as Serhii, was seen cradling his son Iliya's head as he bent over the stretcher set up at a maternity unit, which was covered by a blood-soaked sheet.
He had only arrived at the hospital moments earlier in the back of a car after both his legs were ripped apart by a Russian shell.
Mariupol, the main port of eastern Ukraine, has been under constant bombardment by Russian forces with no water or power available in the city.
More than 2,000 Ukrainian civilians, including more than a dozen children, have so far been killed in the invasion.
Around one million people have fled the war-torn country as Russian troops continue the illegal assault on their peaceful neighbour.
Earlier this week an interpreter covering Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the European Parliament broke down as he detailed the death of several children.
