Women and children flee Ukraine. Men, however, have to stay behind. A video on social networks shows an emotional farewell.
Kiev – A video is currently circulating on social networks that is said to come from Ukraine* and is currently being shared frequently. It is supposed to show a family in Ukraine who have to separate because of the impending threat from Russian troops.
The video shows a family man tearfully saying goodbye to his wife and daughter. He hugs the crying child, who then gets on a bus with his mother. It is unclear where exactly the video was made. However, there are likely to be many such fates in Ukraine at the moment. According to initial estimates by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), 100,000 people are already fleeing.

War in Ukraine: Video shows a father’s emotional farewell to his family
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently ordered that only women, children and the elderly are allowed to leave Ukraine. Men aged 18 to 60 with Ukrainian citizenship are no longer allowed to leave Ukraine. The measure is part of the state of emergency imposed by the Ukrainian government.
The situation is tense due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. According to international media reports, the Russian army is to occupy more and more areas in Ukraine. People are supposed to flee Kiev and other big cities from the bombs and tanks of the Russian army. Many Ukrainians should therefore seek refuge in the countryside or try to reach the borders of neighboring Poland, Hungary or Romania. The USA and EU countries imposed sanctions on Russia* and increased NATO troops. (df) * hna.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
