A few days ago, a 10-year-old girl from Ukraine, named Yana, was at the Kramatorsk train station in a desperate attempt by her family to escape the horrors of war in her country.
But instead of escaping to have a chance at a normal life, Yana lost not only her beloved mother but both her legs in an instant, in one of the worst civilian casualties since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Yana's story was shared in a Twitter post by Sky News Ukraine correspondent Mark Stone. The post included a photo of the girl with her face hidden by a mobile phone device.
"Yana is ten. She is one of four children I just met at a hospital in Ukraine. A week ago she was at the train station in Kramatorsk trying to escape the war when it was hit by missiles. She lost both her legs. And her mother," the journalist wrote in his post, adding that, at the request of doctors, he published a photo of the girl where her face is not visible.
