- Story Text:Mourners gathered in a church in the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday (May 3) to pay their respects to Vira Hyrych, the Radio Liberty producer killed in a missile strike.
Hyrych's body was recovered from under the rubble of the residential building she lived in a day after the two strikes hit the capital on April 28.
Mourners held candles and listened to hymns at the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral in Kyiv, before Hyrych was laid to rest.
Radio Liberty said in a statement that Hyrych had worked in its Kyiv bureau since February 2018.
