"I hope they did not hurt me on purpose," says Ukranian girl who lost an arm

Sasha, a 9-year-old Ukranian girl, lost her left arm when Russia invaded Ukraine.

The doctor said the injury was critical and Sasha was starting to lose her consciousness when hiding underground. Yet Sasha never cried. "She is exceptionally strong," the doctor said.

After the surgery, Sasha told the press, "I don't know why the Russian people shot me, I hope they did not hurt me on purpose."
