This is the unfinished homework of 14-year-old Daniel Umansky. On the morning of September 25, Daniel was sitting in his room in Kyiv, doing his homework. He was writing about Volodymyr Monomakh, a ruler of Kyivan Rus, and his moral teachings written almost nine centuries ago. The assignment asked Daniel to think about how those principles might be understood today. He wrote about respecting others, protecting the vulnerable, helping orphans, and other basic human principles. Daniel never finished his home assignment. At around 8 a.m., a Russian het drone struck his apartment building in the center of Kyiv. Daniel was killed in his room. Among the wreckage of the family’s apartment, his school notebook remained open. There is a terrible symbolism in what Daniel was writing at the moment his life was taken. A 14-year-old boy was trying to put into modern words a centuries-old principle: the strong must not be allowed to destroy the weak. He never finished that thought. A Russian drone reached his room first. You can see the drops of blood on his school notebook. Today, Daniel was laid to rest in Israel, where his grandparents live. In September 2026 alone, there were 235 air alerts in Kyiv. Schools, hospitals, universities, infrastructure, and residential buildings were under deliberate Russian attacks. Hundreds of civilians were injured. Around thirty were killed. Danya was one of them. There should be responsibility. There should be just peace. His mother was wounded in the same attack, and the family’s home was damaged.
