Surgeons had to amputate Sascha’s arm

According to the Daily Mail, after the unfortunate event, Sascha was taken to a shelter where she spent two days with serious injuries, for which she was transferred to a hospital and the doctors had no choice but to amputate one of her arms in order to save her life. .

Sascha, who is still recovering from her injuries in hospital, spoke from her bed and, with the innocence that characterizes children, spoke about the attack she experienced:

I don’t know why the Russians shot me. I hope it was an accident and they didn’t mean to hurt me.

The girl’s family was also affected.

The little girl also commented on how the events happened when she was with her family:

I was shot in the arm. I ran after my sister. My mom fell. I thought that was the end. But she wasn’t dead, she was just taking cover from the gunshots, she was hiding.

Sascha was fleeing the fighting in the Kyiv suburb of Hostomel with her father, mother and sister last week when the family car was hit by bullets.

Unfortunately, Sascha’s father was shot dead as he was driving them away from the fighting in his vehicle. While her sister and her mother found refuge in a nearby basement, and stayed there for two days until everything calmed down.
