A photo of a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl, a lollipop in her mouth, a rifle in her hands and a yellow and blue ribbon in her hair, went viral on social media within a few hours. The image was taken by the girl’s father, Oleksii Kyrychenko, and posted on Facebook with the title “young girl with candy” to “bring the world’s attention to Russian aggression in Ukraine”. “This is my shotgun. I gave it to him just to take the picture and it was unloaded,” added the parent.

An “iconic” photo of the tragedy of the children, displaced and deprived of school, killed by the bombings, and of a Ukrainian resistance that does not intend to give up. The image rebounded on social media after it was picked up by Donald Tusk, former president of the European Council. “Please don’t tell her that tougher sanctions would be too expensive for Europe!”, Is the message with which the Polish politician accompanied his post, referring to the fears of some economic sectors for an escalation of sanctions. Retweets from Tusk’s post alone are thousands.

On Instagram Kyrychenko also posted another image of her daughter with a rifle and lollipop: this time the little girl is not sitting on the ledge of a broken window, but is standing and wearing a pink jacket.
