Kalashnyk expressed the gravity of the situation, stating, “The wound was very serious. Medics fought for her life until the very end.” He extended his condolences to the victim’s family and friends during this difficult time. In addition to the young woman’s tragic passing, another victim, a man born in 1953, remains in intensive care due to a back injury sustained in the attack. Furthermore, a third individual suffered a knee injury and is currently under medical observation, thankfully not in a life-threatening condition.
