Sergii Perebeinis wants the world to bear witness to his grief.

His entire family – his wife, their two children and two dogs – was obliterated as they attempted to flee the conflict in Ukraine. They were taking advantage of Russia's promised safe passage for civilians, but Russian troops fired a mortar as they dashed across a bridge to Kyiv from their suburban town of Irpin.
