PRECIOUS little 6 years old. GOD BLESS and KEEP you.

[kristannestone]

Dear little boy, I want to give you a hug. I'm so sorry this happened.. Much love and prayers for you and your dad.

[Blueblurrie]

This is completely heartbreaking, ughhh I can’t stop crying…we 100% support Ukraine

[SNOWQueen-vg]

My condolences goes out to her family 🙏

[joysimpson]

I cannot begin to imagine my mother being buried in the back garden... This is so horrific...

[EgorKlimenko-]

Horrible and stupid war. And the main question “why?”

[pamelatimmins]

That is so tragic, she starved to death because crazy putin wanted her country and it's people; for no other reason than control and power he was not entitled to. RIP ma'am you will be missed. God bless your family and especially your little 6 yr old boy during this heartbreaking time.

This child lost his mother, while Putin's children still have theirs, it's unfair, it's horrible and above all, the Kremlin must be held to account

[lizz]

Thanks for the story. Difficult but the reality of this invasion must be told. A story of cowards who can only destroy civilians.

[joannehoward]

How can we the world help these kids, I would happily provide a home for this little guy in 🇦🇺. Can it be done

[ruthdepew]

When this came on, I was trying to decide whether to have kiwi or tomato with my salmon patties tonight. We complain about inflation, but we are not starving. Just imagine having eaten you last can of salmon last week and not knowing when you will get meat again.

[sleepsmartsmashstress]

Kremlin must be held to account BUT HOW

[scipioafricanus]

That little boy said the whole Russian invasion, the is what can be said...GLORY TO UKRAINE

[Paul-lmgv]

And we have college students in THIS country who get 'triggered' when they hear something they don't like!

[MyHalcyonDaysAreHere]

Heartbreaking. What did they do to Russia to deserve this ?

[foureyes]

How on earth can they be " investigating" war crimes ? If they aren't an obvious given I don't know what would be.

[histershellac]

these are the stories that make me daydream of strangling vladi

[johnho]

strong little boy, this should not have to happen in the first place just because one man thinks he can bully another country

[simplip]

God blessed this little boy's heart. So so heartbroken to see people, especially little ones sufferings. May the Lord's Peace & Protection rained down upon the people of Ukraine

[solarischronos]

@WORLDWIDE, STOP THIS INSANITY & SAVE LIVES!
