Oleg Fedko, 30, was on patrol when his loved ones were killed when soldiers opened fire on two cars on their way near Nova Kakhovka in southern Ukraine.
Ukrainian media report that Russian soldiers shot the family in the bombed Ukrainian region of Kherson, north of Crimea.
Six-year-old Sofia Fedko and her brother Ivan, who was just six weeks old, died with their mother Irina, 27, and two grandparents, both 56, on the first day of the conflict last Thursday.
Oleg’s brother Denis Fedko said he was talking to his mother on the phone at the time. “I talked to my mother,” he said, adding: “I kept hearing my mother shout that she had children. [in the car] and “How can you [do that]? ”.
Describing when the attack began, he said: “I heard little Vanya [Ivan] he cried loudly. He was only a month and a half old. And then I heard shots. Then there was silence, then shots again. There were two shots, each two to three shots long. I realized they were finishing them. ”
Reports say that Oleg Sr. was forced to take family members because his son was on duty.

The tragedy is another example of how Putin’s war is being waged against all Ukrainians, including children.
The life of Polina’s brother and sister, the 10-year-old Ukrainian girl mad by Harry Potter who was shot dead by the Russians along with their parents, still hangs in the balance today like a little girl blown up by five others when a rocket struck is called a kindergarten.

Putin’s infamous war against the people of Ukraine was exposed in heartbreaking photos capturing the death of an innocent six-year-old child – named the girl in the pink pajamas with a unicorn – one of 16 children now killed in the conflict.
The disturbing photos outline the battle to save an unnamed little girl who was fatally wounded when the Russians shelled her apartment building in Mariupol on Sunday – and portrayed the horrific casualties the war inflicted on civilians, especially children.
During the rescue operation, a doctor in blue medical scrubs, pumping oxygen into the girl, turned to the AP photographer and said: “Show this to Putin: the eyes of this child and the crying doctors.”

The next photo, too vivid to be published, shows the girl’s father holding the hand of his lifeless child while the paramedic resuscitates her small body. He sobs while covered in something that looks like her blood.
A team of doctors then gently transports the child, who is still wearing his red-paired unicorn pajamas, to a hospital in the coastal town. Her bed linen was then cut so that a team of seven doctors worked on her body, which was still caught by the praying father.
The latest image shows the child only in a wheelchair in an empty ward that has been declared dead in a war that claimed at least 210 civilian lives by Sunday, including more than a dozen children.
