The mother seen in a viral photograph showing her dead body and the corpses of her children lying in a street in Ukraine has been identified as an employee of a Silicon Valley company.
Tatiana Perebeinis, who was killed alongside her 9-year-old daughter, Alise, and her 18-year-old son, Nikita, as they tried to escape the Russian invasion in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin, was the chief accountant for SE Ranking, a search engine optimization company based in Palo Alto, California.
SE Ranking spokeswoman Ksenia Khirvonina told the San Francisco Chronicle that Perebeinis initially did not intend to flee the country, partly because she did not want to leave her son, who would not be allowed to leave the country if called to help defend Ukraine, and partly because her mother was sick.
The image of their dead bodies, which showed their backpacks, luggage, and animal carrier, was featured on the front page of the New York Times last week and sparked global outrage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to make Russia pay for civilian deaths.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Perebeinis's husband, Sergii, was not with the family at the time of the attack. He has traveled to Kyiv with the help of the firm to organize a funeral, according to Khirvonina. Russia's invasion of Ukraine began Feb. 24 and is stretching into its second week. The fighting has resulted in the deaths of an estimated 500 civilians. More than 2 million people have fled the country.
