I was going to put a warning on the headline but other than "Heartbreaking" I couldn't think what to say GrannyGravy

Sarnia, I don't think pictures do undo brainwashing for some. I hope we remember it was friendship and kindness that helped after 1945. That, and the trials of the aggressors.

I saw this on the news this morning and the images moved me to tears, the two little tots running between the rows of empty prams was just heartbreaking ?

How very, very sad. Heartbreaking.

A heartbreakingly powerful image. Perhaps when all this is over the Russian people who have such blind faith in this madman should be shown pictures like this. All those little lives lost and families in mourning on the crazed whim of a dictator.

Rows of 109 empty strollers were placed in Lviv’s old town on March 18 to symbolize the children killed in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The organizers of the event said they wanted to visualize the number, as people tend to get numb to statistics of casualties during a war. The silent protest was also a call for a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stop Russian air and missile attacks.
