Amelia, the viral girl for singing ‘Let it go’ from Frozen from a bunker, performs the Ukrainian anthem at a charity concert in Poland

The war in Ukraine has also given rise to moving stories. Stories like that of Amelia, the seven-year-old Ukrainian girl who went viral on social networks with a video in which she appears singing ‘Let it Go’, the well-known song from the movie Frozen, in a bunker in kyiv, while waiting for an opportunity to escape with his family from the attacks of the Russian troops. A plan that they finally fulfilled successfully.

This past Wednesday, March 16, the news was confirmed: both Amelia and her 15-year-old brother managed to escape the country with their grandmother and are now safe in Poland. Now, the little girl has participated in a benefit concert performing the anthem of Ukraine. Before a massive audience, Amelia managed to get the applause and cheers from those presentcrying out for the end of the war in the neighboring country and for future peace.

This girl and her brother are not the only Ukrainian minors who have had to leave their country because of the war. Every second, a child becomes a refugee due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to data provided by UNICEF. The organization’s spokesman, James Elder, explained that of the more than three million refugees who have fled the conflict, at least half are minorsmany of whom have been forced to leave Ukraine without all their relatives.

This is precisely the case with this little girl. Amelia and her brother have had to flee the Ukraine without her parents, who they are still in the capital, in kyiv. This was reported in an interview with the British media BBC, where he assured that he would like to be back in his country, in his city, to see his parents again. Amelia is the voice of a generation whose lives have been ruined by the Putin-orchestrated invasion and war; a plan that does not seem to have -yet- an apparent end.
