The journalist interviewed a young Ukrainian girl who recalled the night her parents were tragically killed after their shelter was attacked.
"A number of the adults taking shelter there were killed, luckily the children were in a separate part of the shelter, so she's lost her parents and is being looked after by her grandparents," Susanna explained. "I asked her, 'Do you remember that night?' and she said 'No I don't remember.'

She said 'I don't have a memory'. It's almost like she doesn't have any feeling about what happened because she's so traumatised by it, but everybody is absolutely determined not to give quarter to Russia."
Susanna was visibly moved when recounting the story and viewers took to social media to react to her reporting. One person wrote: "Shout out to susanna for being in Ukraine this week. Not many tv presenters would be brave enough to accept such an assignment #gmb."
