A four-year-old has tragically died after being killed by Vladimir Putin's latest sickening missile strike.
Little Liza, 4, was killed in the brutal submarine-launched Kalibr rocket strike on Vinnytsia which the Russian army said was targeting “Nazis”.
Her loving mother Irina Dmitrieva cared for Liza, who had Down’s Syndrome and arthritis in one leg, is now seriously injured and fighting for her life in intensive care.
Liza's pushchair is believed to be seen on videos at the scene of the horror as the mother, who longed for peace, posted about her pride in her daughter.
The pair are seen in delightful videos and pictures, both dressed in purple in a lavender field.
One picture taken minutes before Putin's deadly strike shows Liza pushing her own pushchair.
Irina - a Russian and Ukrainian speaker - posted on social media earlier this year: “It was Covid-19 first, then the war.
"I have not been able to arrange a proper birthday party for Liza for two years.
“I am hoping her fifth birthday will give us a chance!
“I am scared to make wishes.
“I just dream about peace, and about things going the way we want.”
Irina is divorced, but was in good relations with her ex-husband Artem, who cared for their daughter at weekends.
Just six hours before Liza was killed, she had posted about the progress the girl had made despite the pandemic and war.
A total of 21 were killed including three children in the appalling Kalibr strike.
52 are wounded and reports say 46 are missing.
RT propaganda chief Margarita Simonyan said she had been told that the Russian army intended to strike at “Nazis”.
They were aiming at a building called the Officer’s House, a concert hall.
“This was a temporary accommodation point for the Nazis,” she claimed.
