The occupation authorities have published the names of three more people killed during the fire at a cafe in the village of Khorly on the left bank of the Kherson region.
On the list of the dead – Сергій Романів, Ірина Дягилєва та Світлана Голдобіна.
Practically nothing is known about Сергій Романів, where he was from or what he did – we were unable to find out. However, a little more is known about the two deceased women.
34-year-old Ірина Дягилєва is originally from Crimea.
According to Russian databases, Дягилєва organized celebrations and simultaneously worked at the Center for Children’s Creativity in occupied Armyansk.
According to the so-called governor of the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, a New Year’s celebration was taking place in the cafe, so it is quite likely that Дягилєва was organizing this event and therefore found herself that night in Khorly.
The other deceased – 44-year-old Світлана Голдобіна from Kalanchak.
According to Russian databases, in 2023 Голдобіна registered under Russian law as a private entrepreneur.
She may also have known another woman killed in the cafe – Анастасія Сабітова, who worked in the occupation administration of Kalanchak. It is known that Голдобіна and Сабітова repeatedly had joint trips across the territory of Russia.
Recall, on the night of December 31 to January 1, 2026 a restaurant “Ukrainian Khata” in Khorly burned, and the nearby hotel “Leo” suffered an attack.
According to Russian media, the fire occurred as a result of hits by Ukrainian drones and was planned by Ukrainian special services.
On the morning of January 2 the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine rejected these accusations, but later some sources said that the strike was directed at a concentration of Russian military personnel.
So far the Russians emphasize that only civilians died in Khorly. MOST has identified some of the dead. You can read more about this HERE.
