A heartbreaking video is showing what the devastation in Ukraine looks like for families.
In the viral footage, a pained father can been seen breaking down as he says goodbye to his young daughter. The Ukrainian father is in tears with a look of utter despair on his face as he says goodbye to his partner and his daughter.
The two allegedly boarded a bus to get to safety while he remained behind to fight.
The clip shows an absolutely universal love for family. It also gives the rest of the world a heartbreaking glimpse of what it must feel like to be in the thick of the conflict. As families are torn apart, it's almost unimaginable to think about how many people's lives will be forever changed by this war.
In the sad video, the dad is seen hugging his daughter and fixing her hat. He gives her a kiss on the cheek and holds her hands. She's inconsolable as he leans his head against her chest.
“Families are being forced to take the agonizing decision to split up,” one witness told The Sun. “Women and children are heading to the safe zones while the men stay behind to fight to protect their homes.”
The witness also said that the invasion has been a horrible shock to many Ukrainians who did not actually believe it would happen. “But now they are finding whatever form of transport they can to get out — even going to neighboring countries such as Moldova,” the witness said.
The video is simply devastating to watch. Unfortunately, it is just one example of so many horrible images we've seen so far this week. Sadly, as long as the conflict continues, there will be more heartbreak to come.
