Ukrainian actress Oksana Shvets has been killed in a Russian rocket attack on a residential building in Kyiv.
The Young Theater — a Ukrainian theater troupe she had been part of since 1980 — announced the star’s death.
In a statement shared on its Facebook page, the company expressed its “irreparable grief” at Shvets’ passing.
“Honored Artist of Ukraine Oksana Shvets was killed during a rocket attack on a residential building in Kyiv,” the troupe wrote alongside a picture of the stage and screen veteran.
The tribute, translated from Ukrainian, continued: “Bright memory to the talented actress! There is no forgiveness for the enemy that has come to our land!”
English-language publication Kyiv Post also reported her death, saying on Twitter that she was “murdered in Kyiv during the war.”
