In the last few hours, a photo of a Ukrainian girl sitting on a window with a lollipop in her mouth and a rifle in her hand has gone viral. In her hair she wears a blue and yellow ribbon, colors of the Ukrainian flag. She looks outside, as if she is watching. She was even shared on Twitter by the former president of the European Council, Donald Tusk.

The picture was taken by the girl’s own father, the Kiev photographer Oleksii Kyrychenko and published on their Facebook and Instagram accounts with the title “Young girl with candy”, “girl with a candy”.

It's actually a shotgun but the effect is still the same:

All the anti-gunners who have become rabid Ukraniacs have to be conflicted over this.

It's a shotgun and an excellent choice. Whoever took that picture should be shot. That's how you get children killed by Russians. A child that can shoot you dead ain't no different than a 24 year old male soldier.

Irresponsible journalist.

And young people here, much older than 9, whine like babies if they can’t have the latest and greatest cellphone, to name just one thing.

Big for 9. Just sayin. Adding on.

It’s a pump shotgun.

Hope she’s been trained to not hurt herself when she fires it.

It’s pretty much a CQB firearm. Really?

Cover and Concealment are real

Good propaganda photo.

I thought guns were bad and children should be kept far away from them.
