On Assignment with Richard Engel @OARichardEngel

When the Russians shot Katherina, her parents thought she was dead. “The bullets went through her back, the ribs, the lungs, the thighs,” the mother said. “She suffered the most as she was covering her little brother.” She saved his life. He is 8yo. Pres Zelenskyy met them today:

An amazing, courageous and heroic young woman from Ukraine is brought to tears when meeting her country’s leader.

I am so glad they are alive.

And I am more and more impressed with Zelensky every day. He is not only a brave and courageous leader, he is a mensch.

ever done something like this?

[smirkymonkey]

12. Are you kidding?

They are polar opposites, Trump and Putin are scum and Zelensky is gold. How can anyone not see that? I am sure it is eating those two cowards alive.

16. The brave girl was awestruck to see President Zelenskyy.

A courageous people with a brave and effective leader will not be defeated.

Slava Ukraini!

19. She's an incredible hero in her own right and she is overwhelmed with emotion when she meets him.

If Ukraine overcomes all odds and somehow defeats this Russian invasion, the David and Goliath story will be replaced by the Zelensky and Putin story.

[TomSlick]

21. Yes, she is amazing.

I am coming to the opinion that such bravery is a common trait in Ukraine.

Putin has terribly underestimated the Ukrainians.

"Slava Ukraini!"

24. Has Putin Visited Any Wounded Russian Soldiers In The Hospital?

Or a grieving parent of a Russian soldier that lost his life? I think I know that answer.

scared to come within 10 feet of any other person

It matters to her that he came to see her, it is fantastic he cares enough to do that.

26. Thank you for posting this

This made me smile. This is a truly good man

29. Imagine the bravery and love it takes

to do something like this and then compare that to the human scum that is gunning down children.
More courage and decency in that young girl than in the whole russian army combined that tried and failed to murder an 8 year old.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Tears

Tears at the horrendous crimes being committed.

Tears at the pain and suffering of the Ukrainian people.

Tears at the raw courage and bravery.
