This is the heartwarming moment a young Ukrainian girl sang ‘Let It Go’ from Disney’s Frozen to locals in an air raid shelter as bombs rained down on Kyiv.

The youngster named Amelia was jittery before her first performance in front of a crowd, but gathered her courage with the help of Marta Smekhova, a local who stopped by to check on people in the shelter.

Video from March 3 shows Amelia belting her heart out while singing her own rendition of the iconic song. The shelter’s occupants, who had earlier been busy, were all silenced and mesmerized by the young singer’s makeshift recital, with some taking out their phones to record the touching moment.

After the song, the audience burst into applause as Amelia shyly looked around her.

Marta, who said she shot the video with the permission of the girl’s mum, said: ‘Everyone put their business aside and listened to a song by this girl who was just beaming light. Even men couldn’t hold back their tears.’

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine’s Donbas region last week. He said in a public address on February 24: ‘We decided to launch a special military action aimed at demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.’

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said it had tallied at least 1,123 civilian casualties in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion.

United Nations high commissioner for refugees Filippo Grandi said on the number of refugees fleeing from Ukraine has breached the 1.5 million mark on Sunday, March 6.
