I think a lot of movies could be made about Ukraine's citizens during this war,

(57,073 posts)4. I agree on both counts!
I'll bet he grew up quickly!
Glad for a happy ending to his, no doubt, terrifying journey! Maybe he will write a book!

(204,844 posts)6. I completely agree, what a brave young kid!
Not too many children in this country would have the perseverance to make the journey he did...

(24,525 posts)7. I think a lot of movies could be made about Ukraine's citizens during this war,
especially the children. I thought about the young girl who was shot up while shielding her brother. What courage and selflessness she had! We have seen enough of this in the adults to see where the children learned it. They are very special people indeed.
