Ukraine, little Liza, who died at the age of 4 while pushing her stroller

Her mother, Iryna, very much in love with her, has dedicated every post on her Instagram profile to her, where she recounts a daily life made up of walks, discoveries, hugs and smiles. Lise, raised in love, is a victim of hatred. She is only four years old dead, hit by missile attacks who, yesterday, devastated Vinnytsia, a city in central Ukraine, killing 23 people (but there are still another 18 missing).

According to reconstructions, Liza, who had Down syndrome, was going to the speech therapist with her mother: she pushed her pink stroller along the sidewalk and was cheerfulas the story published on social media by the mother showed.

During the attack, Iryna, a 33-year-old designer and blogger, whom everyone calls Ira, lost a leg, and struggles for life in the ICU. For Liza there was nothing to do: her photo of his little body shot to death, next to the strollerhas already been around the world, yet another testimony to the brutality and senselessness of war.

Lidia Voitenko, a friend who shared an apartment with Iryna, told a local newspaper that “Ira was apparently conscious when she was taken to the ICU, but Lise died instantly. I can’t say more. It’s too hard”.

Olena, President Zelensky’s wife, recognized the little girl because he had made a Christmas video. “We were horrified to see the picture of the overturned stroller in Vinnytsia. And then, reading the news, I realized that I knew this little girl, ”she wrote on Twitter. “We met while recording a video for the Christmas holidays.” In a video, posted by the first lady, Lise is seen painting Christmas balls.

She was a rascal, Liza: in addition to the balls, with the colors «she managed to paint not only herself and her party dress, but also all the other children, me, the cameramen and the director. Look at her when she was alive, please. ‘
