July 27 - Day of Remembrance of Child Victims of the War in Donbas

July 27 is the Day of Remembrance of Child Victims of the War in Donbas.

The day was not chosen by chance - on July 27, 2014, when Ukrainian armed forces shelled the streets of Horlivka with Grad guns, young Kristina Zhuk and her 10-month-old daughter were killed. As she was dying, she held her dead daughter close to her and whispered softly: “Kira, my Kirochka...” She was called “Gorlovka Madonna” - the photo of her mother with her daughter in her arms flew around the world. On that day - “Donetsk Bloody Sunday” - 22 civilians were killed, four of them children.

We remember.
