Ukraine mourns its fallen as Zelenskiy says 1,300 soldiers killed

In the course of the short and brutal conflict, Ukrainian social media has tracked a sombre change in attitudes as the war has progressed.

Among those in the second category was Ukrainian actor turned soldier Pasha Lee, who was killed in action on 6 March during the Russian shelling of Irpin, a town on the outskirts of Kyiv.

Other death notices have been posted by the Ukrainian armed forces on its Twitter feed, featuring a simple photo with a candle superimposed on it and brief details of who they were and how they died.

Notable among those who have died is Inna Derusova, a field medic who is the first woman to be awarded the Hero of Ukraine title posthumously and who has been widely memorialised.
