A photo of a Ukrainian father weeping over the draped body of his son who was killed when Russian shelling hit a soccer field in Mariupol earlier this week has gone viral.
“My little son,” Serhii cried, as he cradled the body of 16-year-old Iliya at a local hospital, according to media reports.
Iliya’s two friends survived the attack, but are facing possible amputations after shrapnel pierced their legs.
