Oksana Leontyeva was killed on October 10 after a Russian rocket hit her car in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. She was traveling to the hospital where she worked as a cancer doctor after having dropped off her 5-year-old son, Hrysha, at his kindergarten. Hrysha's father died suddenly of a heart attack a year ago and his grandparents will now become his guardians.
