What is known about Anna Kushnarova, 14
Anna studied in the 9th grade of Sumy secondary school No. 27 of I-III degrees. Teachers remember her as a kind, sociable and diligent person.
"The team of educators, staff, and students at our school is in deep sorrow over the tragic passing of a ninth-grade student and her family.
Good-natured, outgoing, understanding, happy, hard-working student, our astute girl... There are no right words to convey the depth of [our] suffering, misery, and sadness," school employee Yuliia Rezontova wrote on Facebook.
The girl was also fond of cynological agility sports and competed in them.
Journalists report that Yuma, Anna's pet dog, survived the Russian attack. Yuma is currently at the hospital in serious condition.
"She was a wonderfully cheerful child who desired results and sobbed when something did not work. However, we always found solutions and achieved results. I was devastated by the news... I have no words to explain my hatred of Russia," Oleksandra, a cynologist who worked with Anna’s dog, tells Kordon Media.
