the conflict in Ukraine since the US engineered coup in 2014 - or you have only relied on the MSM to get your "information".

Note: Horlivka is Ukrainian spelling of the original Gorlovka.

“The Gorlovka Madonna”, she died with her child, holding him in her hands.

Christina Zhuk with her 10-month-old daughter became a sad symbol of the Donbas war. They died in Horlivka during shelling from the Ukrainian side on July 27, 2014.

On this day, the city of Horlivka was subjected to massive shelling by Ukrainian security forces. In the course were launched the installation of volley fire "Grad". As a result of shelling of Horlivka from heavy guns for the period from 27 to 29 July injured 100 people, another 27 were killed, four of them children, reported in the city Council. Among the dead was Christina Zhuk and her daughter.

Kristina Zhuk was 23 years old, her daughter Kira 10 months, when they were killed in Horlivka. The young mother was buried with the baby in her arms. A terrible tragedy then excited the world, the pictures flew around the world, and the dead Christina was then called the “Gorlovskaya Madonna”.

Christina lived in Kiev, in Horlivka came to her mother. They were going to leave the city due to the deterioration of the military situation, a departure was already planned. It was not fate. Christina stayed in Horlivka forever.

On the Third Anniversary of the Gorlovka Massacre…

On the third anniversary of the murder of Kristina “Madonna of Gorlovka” and her daughter Kira – excerpt from an interview with Kristina’s mother:

“Kristina was intelligent. She graduated from our Gorlovka institute of foreign languages. She wanted to achieve much in life. She loved her daughter Kira very much, she wanted and waited for her birth. Already when she was pregnant she asked all the time: ‘When will Kira appear’. She knew how the baby will be named, how she will be.

When Kira was born, Kristina couldn’t let her out of her hands. Kira endlessly sang songs – waking up in the morning she shouted from the bedroom: ‘Ba! Ba!’, and began to sing songs. Our neighbors laughed at everything, as from the first day we constantly sang songs to her. Neighbors asked who sings here? It was me and Kristina. I played French songs and Kira already murmured singing.

I still have the feeling that they just went out for a walk, and they will now return, and I will mutter in the evening that you came back so late, it is time to bathe. Every time when they were late and came back, they shouted: ‘Ura! Grandmother, we learned to crawl!’ or ‘Ura! Grandmother, we learned to walk!’, ‘Ura! We weaved the first wreathe!’. Kira just learned to walk. In this park they walked 2-3 times a day, they almost didn’t leave it, there, in this grass they learned both to crawl and walk. They lived in this park and they died there.”

How the children of Donbass died under the shelling of the Ukrainian security forces
February 25, 2022

Each of us knows what the loss of a loved one is. But God only knows what a mother feels when she loses her own child. Military operations in the Donbass have been going on for eight years. Eight years of bloody slaughter, in which not only soldiers, but also civilians, including small children, died every week. They have been deprived of a future.

But for some reason, they didn’t seem to notice this before, or they tried to close their eyes to the atrocities of the Ukrainian authorities. FAN decided to remind why Russia decided to end the war in the Donbass.

“If the Western media had at least partially shown what has been happening all these eight years – about the alley of angels in the Donbass, about the torn and murdered women and children, all the daily bombings, then the Western community would not have questions “What is happening?” There would be a question: “Why hasn’t Russia done this yet?”

Kira Zhuk (10 months), Gorlovka
Karina Belonog (9 years old), Gorlovka
Sonya Martynyuk (4 years old), Kirovskoe
Kirill (2 years old), Dasha (8 years old), Nastya (13 years old) Konoplevs, Gorlovka
Andrey Zaplava (9 years old), Gorlovka
Nastya Podlipskaya (11 months), Gorlovka
Vlad Kravchenko (18 years old), Donetsk
Vanya Nesteruk (4 years old), Telmanovo
Liza Serbinenko (15 years old), Snezhnoye
...
The stories of Tolya, Nastya Podlipskaya, Vanya Nesteruk and others are far from the only ones. They can go on and on. During the eight years of the war they accumulated into several volumes. No one argues that war is scary. But the expression “all means are good” is not always suitable even for war.

Meanwhile, the children of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics, evacuated due to the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass, began classes at the school in Novocherkassk. Children from the DPR and LPR in Novocherkassk study in ordinary classes together with Russian schoolchildren.

Take note that this is the reason why Russian Ukranians sent their children to Russia.

#4.1 Not sure what you are showing me here. I see a photo of a live mom with baby and a dead mom with baby. Without context it's only unseemly, and without legit context it is certainly possible to be anything. Were they murdered by ANTIFA fascists? Adherents of Tucker Carlson? Charles Manson? I guess you could say anyone did it.
