It was a heart-melting and emotional moment for one young boy after he was reunited with his mother in Ukraine, after living days apart.
Thousands of Ukrainians tried to cross the border after news spread out regarding fears of a Russian invasion.
The young boy, therefore, fled the country with a complete stranger and had no idea what his ultimate fate would be in the end.
But today, 33-year-old Anna Semyuk gave her son a huge hug, moments after both he and his sister safely made it back in their mom’s arms.
Their father could not take them in as Ukraine has currently placed a ban on all males between the age groups of 18 to 60 as a bid that would guarantee both their defense and any organizational terms relating to their mobilization.
Meanwhile, his kids continued to join so many others in the border-crossings.
This particular report comes at a time when the UN High Commissioner assigned for refugees claimed that around four million could flee. In the same way, it spoke about how 120,000 individuals had already started leaving the war-torn country with ‘refugee’ status, ever since the crisis between Russia and Ukraine started.
Sources revealed how the kids were sent via a ferry with a complete stranger over to the Hungarian side of the border. Other common countries included Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Poland too.
As it is, the number of refugees in Poland stands at 9,000 currently and they were deemed as ‘desperate’ to leave the war-struck nation, arriving with tears in their eyes.
“My children’s father simply handed over my kids to me. I had just returned back from my trip to Italy. He could not join us because they are not allowing him”- the mother mentioned in an emotional statement after warmly embracing her children.
