Mourners clutched teddy bears as they paid an emotional final farewell to a soft toy-loving little Ukrainian girl, killed in a deadly Russian strike last week.
A funeral service was held for two-year-old Angelyna Galych along with her 24-year-old mother, Nadiya, on Sunday after both were among at least 25 civilians killed when a Russian missile hit a residential building in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Thursday.
Heartbreaking pictures from the little girl's most recent birthday celebrations show her beaming as she sits in front of a chocolate cake, dwarfed by two large teddy bears, one in terracotta and the other in soft peach.
Rescuers frantically trying to find survivors in the rubble were able to retrieve her beloved teddies from the rubble, but the toddler did not survive.
Relatives and mourners at the funeral service were pictured clasping dolls, bears and other soft toys as the mother and daughter were laid to rest.
