It has become an unlikely soundtrack to the unfolding conflict in Ukraine.
A 10-second TikTok video a frightened but defiant teenager in Kyiv posted the day Russia invaded her homeland has captured the heart of the embattled nation.
And as the full weight of the Russian invasion bore down on Ukraine, for many refugees the sight of Elizabeth Lysova, 17, lip-syncing and gesticulating to the David Guetta dance track “Who’s That Chick” has been a balm amid many tearful goodbyes.
The caption accompanying her video, which has been viewed almost 15 million times since Feb. 24, reads: “When Russian attacked us so we r leaving at 8 a.m.”
Now, Lysova is one of the more than 1.2 million Ukrainians who have fled their country.

All of this propels me back in time to the Vietnam Conflict which continues to break my heart.
