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”.

In El Salvador I saw children used as peace props. They had to stand for a long time in their school uniforms holding peace doves (actually light-colored pigeons). Finally at the signal they all tossed up their birdies expecting a photogenic fly off. But the feathered pals had been held tight in little hands for a long time and many failed to even extend their wings and simply fell to the ground. Oh the humanity ... but the creatures were unhurt ... I think.
The Geneva Convention and the ICC make no distinction about in border conflict, whether defensive or offensive. It’s a war crime to use children. Do you have children? ( Hopefully not given your opinion on this matter). You should have no prob then, packing them to die for your war fantasies
Not me, if I want the real truth, I tune into CNN, ABC, MSNBC etc..
Has free republic lost its ever loving mind? Ukrainian propaganda. Are we really the stupid?
You do realize this is not real correct?
So you ok with Hamas and Hezbollah using children as shields and sticking assualt rifles in their hands as long as it’s defensive. If any nation had the need to utilise all available resources in defense, it would be Israel. Yet they condemn it in the strongest terms possible. And rightly so. But you probably are a Nazi who supports Hezbollah
Are you Salvadoran or were you a missionary?
I was responding to McGruff’s 26. Why not ask him.
Apparently some of us are. Kind of amazing - if you live in an area that's so freaking dangerous that you have to give shotguns to third graders, are you also going to park them in windows where they become instant targets? And hand 'em lollipops? Good Lord, what a bunch of rubes...
Kangaroo boy, your feigned outrage techniques are REALLY PATHETICALLY LAME! Go to some liberal sites where there are pictures of children at Trump rallies to see how the masters do it.
“OMG, that MAGA hat can cut off circulation on that young child. CPS needs to be called.”
“OMG, that young child is on that high platform. They can fall and break every bone in their body.”
“OMG, why do they have young child waiting in the hot sun? They can get heat stroke. THIS IS SO OUTRAGEOUS “.
It’s despicable that she might be able to defend herself and perhaps younger brothers and sisters?
Interesting article about the roles that very young people - some as young as 10 - played in our own revolution:
The movie, Revolution, with Al Pacino shows small boys ready to fight in a battle scene with the British.

Yap, yap, yap. What a little ankle biting drama queen.
**Photo of same girl, two days before the invasion:**
Then the photo of her with the gun was taken the same day.
Notice not only the ribbons but her hair strands near her left ear are EXACTLY THE SAME. Probably the same sucker, and by the looks of the window frame, probably the same abandoned building, but a different window, judging by hinges on the frame in the gun pic.
“It’s despicable that she might be able to defend herself and perhaps younger brothers and sisters?”
Exacly, Many if thesd comments remind ne of the responses of liberals to a post of some school kid holding a gun and wearing a MAGA hat. Hair on fire flaming bat crazy hysterical. Phony feigned outrage.
All I know is so far nothing coming out of Ukraine has been true.
In other words, it's CLICK BAIT...
