PR-manager Valeria Glodan and her 3-month-old baby daughter were killed in the 23 April missile strike on Odesa.
A friend of the deceased woman spoke about the tragedy on Facebook, adding that Valeria's mother was killed as well.
"I cannot believe it. We weren't very close, but we were friends, that's for sure. We were colleagues for a year and a half, and we worked closely with this wonderful, sincere and kind girl.
She has a very young daughter. She had, that is. Three months old. And she did not survive. I feel so sorry, it’s beyond words. I want to scream and climb the walls", she wrote.

Valeria's husband Yurii Glodan has posted photos of his wife and daughter. At the time of the attack, his family was at home, and he had stepped out to go to a shop, so he survived.
"Rest in peace, my dear ones! You are in our hearts!" he wrote.

Valeria, a native of Kherson, had condemned Russian aggression since the beginning of the war and supported Ukrainian volunteers.
In her last Instagram post, she posted a story about the war and an appeal to stop the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
