The devastating tragedies of the Russian invasion of Ukraine continue as a 9-year-old girl recently lost her arm after being shot by Russian troops.
Sources from local media outlets revealed how the 9-year-old was identified as Sasha who was trying to flee the war as fighting erupted in her hometown of Hostomel.
This is located just to the east of the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv as Russian forces try to take control of the capital but fail after facing resistance from Ukraine’s defensive troops.
Russians reportedly opened fire on a family car that was loaded with passengers. The incident left the father, who was driving the vehicle, dead. But that was not enough brutality as the troops continued to shoot, leaving the young girl without an arm.
Meanwhile, heartbreaking reports revealed how the girl stayed in and out of consciousness after being wounded for two days. And that is when she finally managed to make it to the hospital.
When she woke up, she said she hoped that the men did not mean to hurt her as she was innocent.
Doctors revealed how they were left with no choice but to amputate the young child’s left arm. Thankfully, she is now recovered but her loved ones say the damage has been done and will always remain with her forever.
Seeing her father die before her eyes were tragic enough for this young girl and now being disabled has added more misery into her life, explained a loved one.
The girl’s mother and sister managed to make it out alive without any wounds, reports revealed.
“We were forced to take refuge in a cellar. Our car came under attack. We were a family, they shattered us forever”- the grieving mother explained.
