Girl sings in the bunker: video from Ukraine touches millions of people

In the midst of the chaos of the war in Ukraine, a video touches millions of people: a girl sings in a shelter.

Kyiv – While until recently people in Ukraine led completely normal lives, everything has changed since February 24, 2022. Since Russia invaded the neighboring country, well over a million people have fled Ukraine. Those who remain in their home country sometimes spend the nights in subway stations or shelters while the fighting takes place above them. In the middle of this unimaginable situation in the Ukraine conflict*, a video now gives hope.

You can see a young girl singing the song “Let It Go” from the film “Frozen” (“The Ice Queen”) in a protective bunker. The footage shows people of all ages crowded together. When the little musician in the middle of the room begins to sing, the bunker falls silent and all attention is focused on her. After the performance, those seeking protection applaud, visibly touched.
