Heroes! True heroes! Let it be life! Fuck ruzzia. Fuck putin.


WinterLola28

Oh my heart 🥺


Yyes85

I'm not crying, you're crying...actually, yes, yes I am crying. Can't imagine what they went and are going through and must have been feeling at that exact moment. Slava Ukraini!


[deleted]

Sending buckets of love and hugs to this glorious but wounded nation.


deadend290

I started chopping onions for dinner early so my family doesn’t think I’m always tearing up looking at my phone. This shit pulls my heart strings, such brave men and women. The vast majority of the world is on your side and the Russian orcs will be destroyed and pay for all their terrible crimes against Ukrainian people.


s-h-a-m-a

Ukrainian people are the strongest,toughest and so precious


Saulthewarriorking

Welcome home hero. He helped the entire country flee the hoard, set up defensive lines and held back a huge sums of the Russian military.


tkatt3

If the Ukrainians knew how much support they have on random Reddit subs…. This is heartbreaking glad they could come together!!!


Candyvanmanstan

>random Reddit subs r/ukraine


Typical_Hoodlum

He helped the whole world, really!


dndpuz

Heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. The desperation of not knowing the state of your loved ones must be one of the worst of traumas. They are reunited, but still so many arent. And some never will be 💔 Victory for ukraine


Bleak5170

Doubly heartbreaking is that this dude will probably be back out there on the front lines as soon as he can, forced to defend a country of innocents against a murderous tyrant.


Thog78

I had the impression he was missing an arm and the other hand also apparently badly damaged. Tragic as well, but I would assume not going back.


Melenkurion_Skyweir

I wouldn't be surprised if these brave men and women decide to go back to the front lines out of their own volition.


AnxiousLie1

It may look that way, but I’m pretty sure his arm is in a cast based on 0:02


AnnOminous

One arm is in a cast. The other is a partial amputation. The video flips near the end to give him two arms in a cast. But he never hugs his wife with two arms.


dndpuz

This whole war is so pointless. The defense isnt, we're here now and its how it is. But what the fuck man. Why.


[deleted]

I feel intrusive watching this.


Iztac_xocoatl

Same. I kind of wish they just could’ve had their moment. To be fair though they probably didn’t care at all. They had each other again, which is the whole point I guess. I don’t even know where I’m going with this anymore


RubyU

Let the world see it. See what russians have forced on the people of Ukraine. It's clips like these that light a fire in the hearts of Ukrainians and the rest of us.


i_owe_them13

Yeah, if I was having an intimate moment in this context, I’d be more pissed off at the people imputing their perception of how I should feel about being filmed than the filming of the moment itself (which wouldn’t bother me at all in this context…the world needs to cry, it needs to see this stuff).


StevenStephen

You make a fair point. I have always felt that it is awful to film people in vulnerable moments, but perhaps that is a sentiment for less terrible circumstances and it may be worth that discomfort to let the world see the evil that has been perpetrated.


[deleted]

🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️


surajvj

🙏 God bless this fortunate couples. Families of other fallen 🇺🇦 soilders were not as lucky as them. But they are eternal heroes. I am sure this soilder will go back to frontline as soon as his hands are healed. 💛💙


[deleted]

From the defenders of Azovstal, to the heroes of Independence Square, to the Donetsk Cyborgs there is no honor high enough to pay proper respect to these selfless people. If they had the same energy the Russian citizens would deliver Putin in a burlap sack to Kyiv. Put him on trial and end this madness.


prideless10001

He's a hero and his wife is a saint


[deleted]

[удалено]


Melenkurion_Skyweir

Didn't you know, everyone who isn't a Russian already is a saint by comparison?


deadend290

Even the ground that’s soaking up all this dirty Russian blood is a saint. I consider the trees and blades of grass more alive and saintly than any person supporting the red orcs.


Usurer

So what happen to the Azovstal guys? I know the bulk of them surrendered, did Russia actually not kill them? The guys the stayed?


Ivoryyyyyyyyyy

It was quite heavily publicised but generally, they have surrendered, a large part of them have been moved to the temporarily occupied territory, smaller part has been even moved to Moscow, probably for interrogation. They have not been killed, of course, Russians never meant any "denazification" seriously unless it meant to replace the government with their puppets, however, they are currently being used to exchange for Kadyrovites, Wagners and other important POWs. Ukrainian GUR (military secret service) is in charge of getting heroes of Azovstal home.


deluded_akrasia

And pilots, which is kind of scary at the same time since that means more aerial bombings.


adanawhitebootlicker

I hope all of those brave heroes can be return to their family alive or atleast be return to them so they can finally pay respect and mourn. 💔


Bjorneo

Tears of joy!! Happy for them.


liftrman

He knows why he is fighting! 💕🇺🇦


Rumunj

Am I going crazy or does the cast appear on two different hands here?


its_a_metaphor_morty

I think they mirror the video at some point. You also see the strap on her bag flip from one shoulder to the other.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Oivaras

> you can’t do that in this day and age. The video is mirrored. Look at the woman's back, at the start the bag is on one shoulder, then it is on the other. We most definitely can do a mirror flip on videos, my shitty phone can do that. Just switch to selfie camera and it does that automatically.


Airport2BJC

I know you can, I was trying to give advice that it shouldn’t be done because it looks like the video was faked. Well, It makes it easier to falsely claim video is fake. Russian news could use this video against Ukraine. I want Ukraine to defend themselves, and I think they need worlds help. Don’t hurt Ukraine, that’s what I was trying to say, not the best writer I guess. If people want cinema masterpieces on emotional reunions and need to mirror, go for it. I’m tired of being downvoted.


Oivaras

> If people want cinema masterpieces on emotional reunions and need to mirror, go for it. As I said, it's probably unintentional, someone just accidentally mirrored it on their phone.


its_a_metaphor_morty

Look at her bag strap. It flips from one shoulder to the other in the last scene. It's just a video mirror. Seriously not even an interesting topic.


Airport2BJC

Should be an interesting topic to OP, the world is trying yell fake anytime they see a video from the war. Don’t give them opportunity. Don’t mirror in post.


its_a_metaphor_morty

It's clearly just that the video has come from two sources. This is some mundane shit.


Airport2BJC

Ok, then why do you keep taking the time to respond and try to minimize what I’m saying? Are you a Russian, or just a Russian sympathizer?


its_a_metaphor_morty

Why do you keep trying to make an ordinary video about a meeting into some big conspiracy thing? Are you OK?


Jonne

Probably an edit of multiple shots, some of which were done mirrored with a front facing cam on a phone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skirfir

Yes, part of the video is mirrored. the strap of her purse also switches shoulders.


Additional_Contact29

Thank you for that


Hasselhoff1

Man these onions


Silejonu

The video is mirrored towards the end, so his injured arm "changes" side. I bet you Putin shills will claim they are crisis actors because of that.


Fabulous_Course_6796

Try to bet on more interesting things

I'm so happy they're together after that

The way he was holding onto her breaks my heart. Those men are heroes.

Welcome home, brave hero! 💙💛🇺🇦💛💙


Myllari1

He is a Hero! God bless him.

Heroyam Slava!


ThePenIslands

The way she touches his face like "holy shit you're alive". I feel like I shouldn't even see this.


BigBagaroo

I can’t imagine the anguish they have been through. True love and true joy of seeing your second half again. *why are my eyes wet*


arancini_7mm-08

Welcome home hero!!💙💛🇺🇦💪💪


balleballe111111

I am so happy for these two!


[deleted]

Look at his skin, his arms, the sunkeness of his face and collarbone region. Starvation. They weren’t feeding him or he wasn’t eating, most likely the former.


kelleyju1993

Thank you to our heroes for their selfless service in defending Ukraine!! 🙏


Less-Raspberry-6222

Hes very lucky and I'm happy for both. Slava Ukraine!


AlliterationAhead

Imagine this scene going way beyond Putin's head because he could never be in such a state of loving stance.


AshingiiAshuaa

Slava this returning defender.


Salty_Competition_84

this husband is about to receive all the love and care in the world from his wife


vancitymojo

This is why they fight and this is why they will win.


CCV21

This reunion 🫂 is what kept him going through some hellish ordeals.


Remy6908

Welcome home brother. You do more for the world then you ever think. Slava 🇺🇦!!!!! Glad you could be back with family. It's a feeling many don't quite or ever will understand.


xRetz

Looks like they treated him well in captivity. /s


subjekt_zer0

fuck man, this moved me to tears.


borg2

Did they even feed the guy? He looks skinny


Thick_Step_8745

Something is in my eye. I am not crying 😭 are you crazy.

Fabulous_Course_6796

Settle down and save the drama for love letters.


[deleted]

I mean, he spent most of that time underground being shelled and enduring some of the gnarliest urban warfare since WWII. And then he was probably “interrogated”, which I assume hurt. I’d say any length of time was probably an eternity — but if you wanted to know, you could google the day that the Azovstal defenders stood down. Once you know that date, you can figure out how many days he was held.

darkjediii

Men on both sides that never chose to fight this war. None of these man have anything to gain, but everything to lose.


aRealDumbGuy

Does his cast switch arms? It’s on his right arm up to mid bicep in the first couple shots and then it’s on his left arm in the last shot and right bicep is visible.

Man, I’ve seen a lot of videos and broke my heart with horror. This broke my heart with humanity. Bless them and their families. Slava Ukraini forever.


Jetstreamsideburns

Why is is cast on his right arm in the first shot but on his left in the last shot?


its_a_metaphor_morty

Video mirror. Also the strap on her bag.
