The young Ukrainian girl who went viral after singing “Let It Go” from Disney’s Frozen to family and neighbors huddled in a Kyiv bomb shelter is now safe in Poland.
Amelia Anisovych, 7, spent nearly six days in the air-raid shelter before leaving with her 15-year-old brother Misha to walk to Poland, according to a report.
The pair made the trek over two days with their grandmother, as their parents chose to stay in the area to help Ukrainian forces by cooking for them, the report noted.

“I always knew Amelia was very talented and a sweet angel, and now the whole world knows the same,” Lilia, 39, Amelia’s mother, said. “But it is a tragedy that she is only a star because of so much death and destruction. Amelia’s video showed the conditions that children had to suffer because of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”
“We were down there for a whole week with not enough food. To go to the toilet, we had to run upstairs as his missiles were flying overhead,” she continued.
She explained the importance Amelia’s singing had on making the situation better.
“The children were terrified. But the video shows the world is united and stands with us, and that gives us hope,” she said.
“She was chatting to a woman and explained she liked to sing, so this lady encouraged her,” Lilia said. “She asked my permission to film her, and of course, I said yes. Even babies stopped crying while she sang.”
Being separated from her children has been beyond difficult, she admitted.
The mother “was so sad to wave goodbye to my children, but it was the best thing to do to make sure they are safe.”

“I think Kyiv will stand and we will win. But at what price? How many children must die?” she said. “Children should be free to play and be happy and sing songs from Frozen — but Putin has made it so they are cowering in terror in underground bunkers.”
