Source: The tragic event was announced by both the Solomianskyi District state administration in Kyiv and the Prestige secondary school, where the girl studied.
Quote: "Mariia Troianivska, a ninth grader, our leader and inspiration for the entire lyceum, a girl who enjoyed life and brought joy to everyone around her, died too young.
The Russian drone, launched by criminals and terrorists, not only left a deep mark in the wall of her house, but also cut off hope for the future, love, and the life of an innocent child," the lyceum said.
Mariia Troianivska attended a theatre studio, Maryna Doroshenko, a foreign literature teacher at the educational institution, said in a commentary in Ukrainska Pravda.Zhyttia. The girl also wished to pursue a medical education.
A few days before the tragedy, the lyceum's group posted images from the fundamental medicine conference, which Mariia attended. The ninth-grader and another student from the school led an interactive workshop to help with bleeding.
Saniia Aliferova, the head of the Roksana Centre for Eastern Culture, also shared her recollections of the girl. She stated that Mariia was a part of the centre's dance squad, and shared photos from the events.
In a comment to Ukrainska Pravda.Zhyttia, Saniia stated that Mariia joined the group more than five years ago.
"She was very diligent. She studied in groups and individually. Always been very cheerful, sociable and kind. Talked with all the girls, never quarrelled with anyone," recalls the head of the Centre.
According to Saniia, Mariia was an active participant in the events of the team and the winner of dance competitions and festivals.
Aliferova admits that the news of the death of the previously cheerful and talkative Mariia was "terrible news" for the team.
"It is very frightening to realise that you will never see this girl again, she will not talk about how things are going and will not dance again," says Saniia Aliferova.
