A viral video has emerged of a young Ukrainian girl singing the hit song “Let it Go” from the Disney movie “Frozen” from an underground bomb shelter, inspiring even the famed performer of the song, Idina Menzel, to respond, “We see you. We really, really see you.”

The video, which was reportedly shot in an underground bunker in Kyiv, was initially posted on Facebook by Marta Smekhova, who said she filmed Amelia, the young girl, with permission from her mother. After Amelia finished, she was applauded by the people in the room. Smekhova wrote on Facebook:

seeing in one of the Kiev bomb storage, how children draw bright pictures in half-darkness, I, of course, couldn’t silently pass by…

stopped, praised, offered to do a little exhibition to somehow decorate this not so happy place…

painted together – a boy and a girl…

the girl turned out to be so friendly, so talkative…

She told me that besides drawing, she loves to sing… and whispered shared her dream that she wants to sing on a big stage in front of the audience…

– so what’s the matter ? – I’m saying, – now we’re organizing… do you see honey how many people are here? that’s what you sing for!!!

– it’s loud, I won’t be heard, – worried…

well, how not to worry? this is the first performance in front of an audience…

needless to say worried for nothing..

from the first word in the bomb shelter came complete silence… everyone put their business aside and listen to a song by this girl who was just beaming light…

even men couldn’t hold back the tears ..

Video made with permission of the girl’s mother…

promised that many people will see him!

Amelia really wanted this..

I showed this video to people in different cities of Ukraine, it was seen by foreigners in different parts of the world!

Amelia, your singing left no one indifferent!

look, Russians, against whom you are fighting!

only a coward can fight against civilians, take away childhood from defenseless children!

you let your children go to the stew, making them into cannon meat…

and our children radiate light, and even in a raw dark basement it does not blink, but ignites even brighter!

and our children are applauded by the whole world!

way to go Amelia!!!

On Sunday, Reuters reported that the British government accused the Russian army of targeting populated areas:

British military intelligence said on Sunday that Russian forces were targeting populated areas in Ukraine but that the strength of resistance was slowing the Russian advance. 

“The scale and strength of Ukrainian resistance continue to surprise Russia,” British military intelligence said in an update. Russia “has responded by targeting populated areas in multiple locations, including Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Mariupol.”

Russia has previously used similar tactics in Chechnya in 1999 and Syria in 2016, employing both air and ground-based munitions.
