'We will meet in heaven': Ukraine girl, nine, pens heartbreaking letter to her mum killed in Russian attack

A nine-year-old Ukrainian girl wrote a heartbreaking letter to her mum who was killed when a car they were in together was shelled by Russian forces - calling her 'the best mom in the world'. The contents of the note, which appears to have been written in a diary, was revealed on Twitter by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
He also posted an image of two of the pages, with the accompanying text: "Mom! You're the best mom in the whole world. I'll never forget you. I wish you'll get in Heaven and be happy there. I'll do my best to be a good person and get in Heaven too. See you in Heaven! Galia xx".
The mother and daughter may have been trying to flee when rockets hit their car, it is thought, reports The Mirror. In the handwritten note the girl - known only as Galia - adds: "We will meet in heaven. I will try my best to be a good to go to heaven also."
She also reportedly thanked her mother for 'the best nine years of her life' - and said she was very grateful for her childhood.
The letter is said to date from March 8, two weeks into Vladimir Putin's onslaught. It hasn't been confirmed where in Ukraine the tragedy took place, but reports have named Borodianka.
