Boyfriend shares moving video of Iryna Zarutska’s ‘happy’ life in America after her death

The boyfriend of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has shared a moving video on Instagram showing her enjoying life in America before she was stabbed to death last month.

Iryna had recently moved in with her partner, Stas Nikulytsia, in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was killed in an unprovoked attack on a light rail train. Video footage of Decarlos Brown Jr., the man responsible, was captured during the attack. It has since gone viral on Twitter. He was arrested at the next bus stop.

Iryna fled Ukraine in 2022 with her mother, sister, and brother to escape the war. She quickly learned English and had been hoping for a fresh start in Charlotte. Her family declined to have her body returned to Ukraine. They said she loved America and would have wanted to be buried there.

Before her death, she worked at Zepeddie’s pizzeria in South Charlotte. She was also dreaming of becoming a veterinary assistant.

Her family said in an obituary that Iryna was “creativity” and had a vibrant spirit. The obituary read, “Iryna will be remembered for her kindness, her creativity, and the lasting impression she left on everyone she met. Her absence leaves a deep void, but her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her.”

Now, her boyfriend has shared a glimpse of her life in America

In the Instagram post, Nikulytsia shared clips of Iryna laughing with friends, dancing, and cooking. The video shows her embracing her new life in the United States. The video also features heartwarming moments between the couple. There is a tender hug in an elevator and a kiss for the camera.
