Russian Shaheds' Strike At Kyiv Claims Life Of Famous Ukrainian Neurobiologist

His wife was killed as well.

As a result of the fall of UAV debris on a house in Pechersk district, during a drone strike against Kyiv, carried out by the army of the aggressor country Russia on the night of January 1, 2025, a well-known scientist-neurobiologist Igor Zima and his wife were killed, reports New Voice.

Friends of the family - the first secretary at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Kenya Oleksiy Bobrovnikov and his wife Daria Tretyakova-Dushechkina informed about this.

‘On 01/01/25, in the first drone attack against Kyiv of 2025, our friend, an outstanding person, Doctor of Science Igor Zima was killed with his entire family: together with his wife and kitty. Just at his home. In bed. We would most likely have celebrated the new year at their home,’ wrote Tretyakova-Dushechkina.

Igor Zima had a PhD in biological sciences and practised science for more than 40 years. In recent years, he taught at the Institute of Biology and Medicine named after Taras Shevchenko.
