Man returns to Ukraine after family is killed, says his "beloved wife is lying in a black bag on the floor" of a morgue

A man whose wife and two children were killed by mortar fire in Ukraine as they tried to flee was in Kyiv on Wednesday to bury them but he said their funerals must be postponed because the morgues are full of civilians.

Sergii Perebeinis wasn't with the family when they died Monday in a civilian refugee corridor while trying to flee the suburb of Irpin for the capital. The California company that Tatiana Perebeinis, 43, worked for helped her husband return to Kyiv.

"Trying to hold on but it's really hard," Perebeinis posted on Facebook. "Fourth day on my feet, thousands of kilometers of road."
