In a video that has gone viral, a woman is being held by two men while she cries in despair during a rescue operation after a terrorist attack in Dnipro.

“Why did you kill him? You were here in our city. I treated you like normal people, like family. What have you done to my son? You be damned! We curse you to the seventh knee. You will be cursed by all people, by me and by my mother’s tears. May your whole country be cursed,” the woman shouted.
