Heartbreaking footage of a Ukrainian father saying goodbye to his young daughter as she leaves the country
We’ve covered a lot of emotional stories, but this one made us weep the most. This month has been excruciating for Ukrainians, who have been forced to choose between escaping for their safety or remaining in their homeland.
The Ukrainian president has requested all men between the ages of 18 and 60 to stay and protect their homeland, causing many happy families to be torn apart as dads, brothers, and sons remain behind while their family members are evacuated to safety.
An extremely touching and heartbreaking video of a Ukrainian father holding his kid before she and the man’s wife evacuated has gone popular all over the internet; the video can be viewed here.
This film depicts a father’s unconditional love for his daughter, despite the fact that he has no idea whether he will see his family again. With tears in his eyes, he approaches his daughter, kisses her goodbye, hugs her, and ensures that she is safely evacuated as he remains behind to defend his nation.
In the video, his wife can also be seen attempting to calm and encourage her husband, but the man’s emotions are absolutely distressing. He simply cannot let go of his daughter without any assurance that he will see her again. A loving father would do anything for his daughter; he would protect her, love her, care for her, and ensure she grew up to be a happy woman; and this man’s face in this video reflects all of that.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has issued a decree requiring all men aged 18 to 60 to remain in the country and protect it. The decree will be in effect for 90 days as of writing this piece, depending on how the scenario evolves. World-famous fighting brothers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko are among the tough men sticking behind.
