Tears for the girl killed in a stroller as mourners cry over the four-year-old slaughtered in an attack in Ukraine
- Four-year-old Liza Dmitrieva was killed in an airstrike in her stroller
- The four-year-old lay peacefully in an open coffin with her stuffed animals at her feet
- Her mother Iryna remains in the hospital after the Russian air raid on Vinnytsia
She enchanted everyone she met, so it was not surprising that numerous mourners bid Liza Dmitrieva farewell.
In an open coffin with her stuffed animals at her feet, the four-year-old lay at peace as relatives gathered around her.
Her mother Iryna remains hospitalized after the Russian airstrike in Vinnytsia, a city of no strategic value, killed Liza in her stroller and at least 23 others.

The death of the Down Syndrome child, whose adorable social media videos had shown how she was doing well despite the war, made her the latest face of Ukraine’s agony.
Iryna’s aunt Tetiana Dmytrysyna said after speaking to her in the hospital: “[Liza’s] Mother was robbed of the most precious thing she had.’
Ms Dmytrysyna added: “She remembered reaching for her daughter and Liza was already dead.”
Two other children were killed in the strike and more than 200 others were injured.
Three of those missing after the attack were found alive in the rubble on Saturday, one person remained missing, the rescue service said.
