The Russian military killed both parents of the musical director, conductor of the Lviv Opera Ivan Cherednichenko, who lived in Irpen.

Ivan Cherednichenko’s parents, who lived in Irpen near Kyiv, stopped communicating on March 5. Relatives have been searching for the couple for more than two weeks. In the evening of March 28, Ivan Cherednichenko announced that his parents had died at the hands of the Russian occupiers.

«Friends, I am very grateful to everyone for their help in finding and supporting… but, unfortunately, today the volunteers who were near our house confirmed that my parents were ruthlessly killed by Russian scoundrels… so I delete the previous search post… Please pray for the souls of innocent people… Hope and Vladimir… »
