A little Ukranian girl named Amelia took the world's breath away yesterday with an impromptu version of the song "Let It Go" from the Disney musical "Frozen". She sang it from a bomb shelter.

Everybody in the room hushed.....and for about a minute and a half all was suddenly right with the world. This little girl, with her grace and bravery, turned darkness into light. This little girl showed more strength than Putin and his army combined. This little girl reminded the world why war diminishes us all. Frozen star Idina Menzel, who made the song famous, retweeted the video. "We see you", she said to Amelia. "We really, really see you."
