The Last One To Leave: Ukrainian Troops Evacuate Elderly Man From Abandoned Neighborhood
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2022
- Valentyn seems to have been the last resident of Teterivske, a village west of Kyiv, who stayed in his old wooden house as Russian shells hit his deserted neighborhood. On March 31, Ukrainian soldiers persuaded the elderly, frail, and frightened man to let them take him to safety.

“We just don’t have the heart to leave you here sir” That statement by the Ukrainian soldier captures a moment to be proud of.
Offering him both respect and reassurance. That lad spoke from the heart and is someone it would be an honour to know.
This honestly broke me into tears....
Heartbreaking... and so full of compassion. Glad they got him out
Perfectly put. God bless Ukraine 🙌🙏
Agreed, proper lump in the throat moment!
When a very old person leaves the home he or she has spent their whole adult life in, it can feel like their life is over and they are just going somewhere else to wait to die. It's hard to understate what this man was experiencing.
you can see at 2:58 he realized what will happen.
Yeah... but at least he won't die alone
Exactly! Fucking awful how bad this war is
Quite right, exactly
😭😭😭😭😭🙏🕊️
The soldier spoke very respectfully and kindly to the elderly gentleman and that is how they were able to convince him to leave. Thank you for helping him in this dire situation. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Such a sad old people on the house
The man carrying him in the wheelbarrow at the end is a good man. We all need to be more like him when the situations present themselves.
Poor man to have to leave his home.. Glad to see the elderly man going to safety. Good job Ukrainian soldiers !
this poor poor man,he is very afraid to leave and afraid to stay. This makes me cry. The soldiers calm voice showed such strength & empathy,so moving to my heart. I pray for the end of this war.
I agree 👍🏼 Ukraine 🇺🇦
There is literally no support for Ukraine. They were tricked by Nato into this war. They should have stayed neutral and made peace with Russia. They are getting their country destroyed and getting absolutely nothing in return. Peace is better than war.
@Dave In Austria it’s snowing now hahahah
@@rafomic4210 the fk your problem?
It must be hard to be in his position and try to trust anyone. He just wants to live his life and be left alone. Wishing him all the best.
well said buddy
Thats why soldiers get better for the good or the worst. All this situations are not easy.
Do we have the moral right to condemn Russians?
Who bombed Yugoslavia, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan...
Why didn't we get outraged then, why didn't they overthrow our rulers???
Who allowed the Pentagon to create 30 bacteriological laboratories on the territory of Ukraine, where experiments were conducted to create biological weapons?
Who supplies Ukraine with lethal weapons worth tens of billions of dollars?
Why did thousands of our military instructors prepare Ukrainians for war with the Russians?
Who turned a blind eye to fascist units like Azov?
Why did our media not cover the GENOCIDE in Donbas for 8 years, where more than 14,000 people died?
As it turned out, many Ukrainians did not know and do not want to believe what was happening in the Donbass...
Why did we applaud the drug addict Zelensky, who said he intended to create an atomic bomb?
We have long been hostages of the diabolical democracy!!!
Why have we blocked all Russian media?
Why do the media cover only one side of the conflict? Our media are skillful factories of lies!
Few people know, the Ukrainian army is led by Joint Chiefs of Staff (USA)
Even Elon Musk provided the fascist regime with his space group.
There is not a single proof that the Russians killed civilians!
The Russians are the only nation in the world that has been fighting evil all its history!
Back in 2007, Putin warned NATO that if it approached Russia's borders, he would respond. Then they laughed at him..
We woke up the Russian bear in vain… He will turn the whole world upside down and become the winner! This was even understood by the Chinese, Indians and Arabs. An unprecedented economic crisis awaits us...
I am against the war!!!! I am against fascists in Ukraine!!!!!!
The voice of real America - Lara Logan. She wasn't afraid to tell the TRUTH! Bravo!!!

Heartbreaking. This soldier is a true gentleman, the respect he showed this gentleman was 👍👏 I hope for peace very soon.
Thanks God they were there to evacuate the man.
It was concocted to be heartbreaking, as emotions are far easier to twist than facts..
God help Ukrainians💔😭🇺🇦🙏
Lived in that house for decades, you can hear the pride when he says “it’s still standing” as he’s “done work on it” through the years. Must be so hard to leave the place you planned to live out your days in.
Its in his eyes. The pain of idea to leave. Pain from knowing that you have to do it now. Choice that you don't want to take. That cursed sentence that visits mind "fk it, not going anywhere" that still you don't want to say.
It literally stresses me from seeing his reaction.
It takes a village to raise a child.
The children came back to protect.
I love that. That’s such a beautiful thing to say.
Our young people may have to do the same thing someday. I hope they have the same kindness.
The kindness and respect this military guy showed this elderly man was heart warming.
That why we love Ukraine.
Lol... not so much in Donbas and Mariupol!
Dumbass
Yeah. You definitely see they are frustrated but they still treat him with dignity. If it were me, I would have been 30 seconds from telling him to grab his stuff, we have to go.
Agreed, to me this is the very heart and soul of Ukraine on display. Slava Ukraine,, from Canada.

Russian soldiers would shoot the man and steal what little he may have had
You can feel the anxiety of the soldiers: they can’t waste time, they need to persuade him, but they don’t want to frighten him. He is not very sure who they are, and he dare not imagine where he is being asked to go. Having lived through the harsh postwar soviet times, he might be afraid he is going to some sort of “camp”.
They also took the opportunity to document "Would you show us the consequences of the shelling of the civilian population?" Because the more evidence they can contribute, the better. This old man is an eyewitness. He has the ability to help fight the war in his own way.
Yes, some of the evacuated from some areas were tricked by Russians onto buses, driven into the Donbas, and through into Russia, where they were they deposited at holding camps to be taken further into Russia to be told to work at various factories. Pure Stalin shit ... the old Russian game of deportation.
“We just don’t have the heart to leave you here sir” - Soldier
It makes me cry . Praying that this war will be over soon . Peace on earth
Fifty years in one house...
Your home becomes an inseparable piece of your soul...
The memories alone are holding it together...
🇿🇦🕊🇺🇦
Heartbreaking, but also good to see the Ukranian soldiers take care of him. Stay strong and free Ukraine 🇺🇦 🌻
2:58 you can see it sink in, it's over and he has to leave his home. like something inside breaks at that moment.

I hope this soldier did the right thing but real evidence proves otherwise. Please take the time to listen to the interviews. Ukraine's fascist government did this to him.
@don't be surprised so you're here again?it's not right to put an ukrenian flag to your video link which is nothing to do with current situation STOP IT your selfish tricks
Right there is the difference, two risk their own lives for one they don't even know.
"I'm praying to God. I'm guilty of nothing." God sent the Ukrainian soldiers Sir. God bless them and you.
They are Angels in Army Fatigues, Humanitarian soldiers.
Old people who just want to stay in their homes, breaks my heart. These soldiers are being so kind.
50 years in a house and some prick country comes and blows it up, I'd be pissed
Pissed is not the accurate word. Well I don't think i have a word for it actually..enraged isn't strong enough
You can see in his eyes how overwhelmed the old man is. This touches my heart. I hope he will have some good and peacefull last years in a safe place ( wherever in this world this is ).
I will never understand people who support the war. My brain can't comprehend that.
The Ukrainian soldiers are so compassionate that they risked their lives to save an elderly citizen even taking the time to explain things while danger is near them. Slava Ukraini !!
The elderly man is a good person. His eyes reflect an innocent loving soul. SlavaUkraini!!? Bless the heroes who help this man.
Agree, I also believe he's a good person, who honestly living his life.
my respect for the average ukrainian is immense, such strong people, they dont deserve what is being done to them.
heartbreaking. This man could be my grandfather or anyone else’s. So grateful for the Ukrainian soldier and journalist who took the time to convince him to leave. Slava Ukaini!

Ukrainians bravest country of all, these soldiers helping this older man escape to safety are heroes,
Everyone that helped to convince that elderly man and then take him away to safety is a hero in my eyes. Thank you so much for being so brave, so courageous. If I could some how get that gentleman to Canada I would offer my home to him.
This says it all. This is humanity. That's why I support Ukraine. Victory for Ukraine!

@@aussiehardwood6196 the world has watched a giant effort in the ukraine.. And the world has watched Russians kill their own troops, leave their own dead in piles of trash
I love this man. A shell landed near his bed and they STILL needed to talk him out of there. He must have been hanging on for dear life. The soldiers were very sweet to let this man process what was going on and gently insist that he leave. Thank you all for showing us that life is worth fighting for
Thank you brave soldiers for saving that poor old man. Hopefully he will be able to return to his house some day.
So difficult for everyone but almost impossible for seniors who need medicine and have trouble walking. God bless ukrainian soldiers for not leaving him behind.
What about the two old men russian soldiers murdered who were out walking their dogs they should kill two russian prisoners live stream for every women child and old men who were murdered.To end this Ukraine is going to have to get animal on these commie bastards when they kill your women and children you have to respond .Give them a taste of their own medicine start bombing the russian civilians.
Agreed 🙏💪 i pray to my Buddha pls help Ukraine country and Ukrainian people and all soldiers be safety 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💛💙
@purple X STOP IT YOU'RE DISGUSTING why are you using ukrenian flag to promote your channel which is not related to current situation at all
Poor guy. I hope he will be able to go back to his home one day and live out the rest of his days. It's where all his memories are.
The move will kill him.
@don't be surprised Fool
This is a time for him to remember you keep your memories in your heart.
These soldiers are angels to this poor old man. Best of luck to them all! 🌻💙🌻
what you saw that ukrainian soldier do there, helping that old man, is something we rarely see soldiers do these days, all respect to you soldier, your an inspiration to all.
Poor old man. He could be our grandpa and this is what Russia is doing to him.😪
He may be old but his mind is still focused on the truth Russia will pay Putin is a War Criminal take him to the Hauge

They were calling him grandpa, listen for the soldiers saying Dyeedo/Dido (grandpa in Ukrainian) 😢💙💛💙💛
So sad. No elderly person (or anyone, for that matter) should have to live out their days in fear.
Russians are absolutely heartless. How do they feel when they watch such an old man losing the hope? Lord be on Ukraine's side
Wow...it is so saddening to see this brave old man by himself.🥺 He's fortunate to have been found by the soldiers. 🙏🏼🇺🇦
You make it sound like he was lost, when in fact he was simply living in his own home. The reason shells were coming in is because the Ukrainian troops were there, if they left the area, there'd be no shelling. How simple is that to work out ? Also, no follow up of the gentleman either, so no one knows how he ended up, for all we know, he copped a bullet as soon as the camera was turned away.
@@itchyvet And, better yet, if Putin were to choke on a chicken bone, there'd be no shelling either.
@@itchyvet wtf
This poor old man. He doesn’t even know what’s going on. When he said “I’ve done nothing to anyone.” It made me cry. I wish I could take him in as I would happily do. So unfair to so many innocent people.
Ukrainian soldiers and their people in general never cease to amaze me. This soldiers literally saved this man's life. What an awesome soldier and young man. I wish I could tell him myself. I wish I could do something directly for him and his family.
This was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I’m grateful to the young soldiers who risked their own lives to save this elderly gentleman. I could feel the humanity of all amidst the tragedy.

I love how kindly and respectfully the soldier is speaking to him. He sounds like a son speaking to his elderly father, wanting to help. It's really heartwarming to hear.
Hard to leave a 'like' facing so much hardship and suffering! All my best wishes to Valentyn, may he be safe and be able to return to his home some day! Glory to the young fighters for rescuing him!

@purple X The voice in the video is so soothing. I'm pleased you linked it.
Very powerful message in the clip you sent me.
Amen
It is an amazing clip. Real MEN in action.
In the fog of war, one can lose touch with one's own humanity. It takes strong moral courage and strength to do what those soldiers did. I pray that those soldiers live to see peace once again in their land, and in their hearts.
There is just no end to the number of ways to be impressed by Ukrainians! It goes way beyond being brave, being determined, being unwavering defenders. Their spirit is indomitable for sure, but also, the compassion and respect for that blessed old boy.... I hope we can somehow know his fate when this is over. Those young soldiers can be a model for the world. And the reporter--? He also deserves much credit for risking it all to be where he is, to show the world the extremes of human nature. It is so hard to imagine that human nature has such capacity on both ends of the spectrum. Slava Ukraine!

Why Hungarians supports Russia?
@@farzana6676 Hungary doesn't support Russia at all. We just simply freeze if Russians shut down their gas pipelines (this is not Florida here) , we are totally depending from their energy supply and we don't want to be pushed into the war. In the mediaval times Hungary always pushed back the Osmans and Tatars and rescued Europe's ass hundreds of years. Afterwards, what was the thank of Europe? All of our revolutions for freedom were fought back and at the end 2/3 of our country (ground) with millions of Hungarian habitants was taken away and given to neighbouring countries after the 1st world war. After the 2nd WW the "happy communistic" system of Russians arrived. After pushing down our revolution in 1848 against Austria, the kind Russians pushed down our revolution in 1956 again and destroyed half of Budapest... (that was the time when so many people migrated to the US among others ) And what came afterwards, everybody knows - that is why we have a "backlog" of 50 years now compared to western countries... Every body nows, If they let us just as big as we were that time, with all of our people, power and intellectual skills, we would have become one of Europe's most powerful and flourishing decision makers.
Nobody wants to have here Russians on our land ever again, we - my family itself too - suffered enough from them... And we are afraid, If we are involved in the war again, WE will lose at the end just as always in history - and not as our allies will do. We are now just a small, weakened toy of the big nations that want to conduct the geopolitical directions and honestly we don't like that anymore!
Very interesting that Zelensky also has time to deal with Hungary while there is a war in his country. Not interesting??? When we told them several months and years ago not to negatively discriminate our Hungarian minorities in Ukraine, not to literally put on fire the Hungarian communities' houses, not to forbid the usage of the Hungarian language and to allow Hungarian children to learn in school in Hungarian just as so far, they did not care!!! They were totally racist against us. And now they want us to support them 'áll in' in war. What a funny man!!!
He forgets that we have already helped out more hundred thousands of fleeing people from Ukraine, with inclusive job opportunities, accomodation, food and all that humanitarian staff.
@@HongaarseDuif As an American I think we should kick Hungary out from NATO back to the Tyga Union where they came from. And EU should do the same.
Hungarians have NO PLACE in the Western Alliance because they do not know how to act Western.
@@farzana6676 well, that's not true. The thing is that they don't want military stuff getting into Ukraine through their country as they feel it might threaten their security. Plus their president, Viktor Orban, used to get on well with Putin. Having said that, Hungary voted against Russia's invasion in the UN summit and in favor of the sanctions applied by the EU against Putin's regime. It's not a black or white thing.
@@Sportingalagrieska It is a black or white thing. Either you are with us or against us. Those are your two options.
I’m so glad they took the time to convince him to go. That must have been a very difficult moment for him, but at least he was able to decide for himself to trust them. Hopefully he’ll make it back soon.
I would be very interested to hear more about this gentleman's well-being. I pray that he can be well cared for.
That elderly gentleman was entitled to live a quiet pensioners life but the monster took that away from him. I am relieved that he trusted that they were Ukrainian army and left willingly. I hope they all stay safe and alive. This is all so appalling, heart wrenching and criminal. #StopPutinNow

This is bringing tears to my eyes. We all hope & look forward to being happy & healthy in our old age. Imagine being in the last decade(s) of your life & having your home & everything you've spent your life working for being bombed & destroyed by unprovoked enemy combatants. It's heartbreaking.
Such caring and good soldiers.God keep them safe even the old man.
Its so Sad, Poor old man who has lived in his house most of his life, now on his own and its virtually destroyed, he does not want to lose his own independence, and probably too proud to ask for help. It must be so hard for him and all others displaced. Well done to those troops who have so much going on for trying to help him. I feel such sorrow for all Ukraine. Russia Must be made to pay for the country to be rebuilt. My Mother Is 87 in 2 days time and she was also a Refugee 1945 escaping from the Soviets when they took Katowice Poland, she ended up in a displaced persons camp in Wunstorf Germany. To this day she still is reluctant to throw food away because of how the war effected her. She told me watching the recent news has brought all the horrors of war back to her.
He reminds me of my grandfather when he was 96 living in Oklahoma USA. He passed that year, I was blessed to be with him at the end of his life. All this old Ukrainian fellow wants is a dignified last few years.
These soldiers made time to be respectful and show compassion towards an old man. This is Ukrainian soul. Beautiful! 💪 🇺🇦
Whoever saves one life saves the world entire. Glad to see humanity in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
Really shocking and sad seeing someone in the end of his life having to go through all of that because of a monster Russian dictator.
Yea that pisses me of the most.
Probably again, he looks like he is around 90y old and probably lived trough the second world as a child. Reminds me of my grandmother, she got injured as a young pregnant woman in the Second World War and had to go trough war again in the 1990’s in Croatia. It’s hard to imagine how many hardships those people had to endure. May Jesus watch over him! Slava Isusu!

This is heartbreaking. I have tears in my eyes. This short footage shows so much. On one side the horror of war and on the other hand the kindness and humanity. It should be kept as a document for next generations. If the is any possibility to show it to the russian folk and someone able to do it is listening here, please do it.
It just breaks my heart to see this old man suffering. Why,why couldn't he spend his last days of his life in a quiet and peaceful place?
Because of bastards like Putin this man will die of stress in less than a year that’s why

God Bless the Ukrainian soldiers for helping that old man to safety! May God keep them all safe.
poor old gentleman , he was happy in his little house until Russians invaded and started shelling everyone, and spring is here and he wont be gardening but at least he will be safe till its all over
This is heartbreaking. Noheart Putin can never understand this kind of compassion as this young soldier has. Who in the right mind can support a war?
So tragic, my heart is shattered over what's happened to this poor guy.
These soldiers are brave and caring. They could have easily left this old man as they are young and he is old. Those shells were not too far off. They stayed until he agreed and were slowed by pulling him in a wheel barrel instead of being able to take cover, shoot, and scoot. 👏👏👏
This is really breaking my heart. I feel with that man's loneliness and his apprehensiveness to leave his home behind, even if he's in crave danger.
I just hope they really found him a permanent shelter near Kyiv as they promised. I want an update of this!
your strength is the foundation that holds your country together through these horrible times old man and the world sees you ❤️🔥💪🏽
What a blessing they found him and got him out. What a shame for him to lose a home filled with his memories. God bless him.
The Ukrainians are an amazing people, they deserve their freedom, their land, and their lives. We can only hope this war ends soon, and that no more death and destruction befalls this wonderful country.
Ukrainian soldiers you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Powerful! My heart breaks for the old beautiful man. The soldiers who convinced him to leave, treated him with kindness and compassion.
It's horrific to see that elderly man having to leave his home ❤️❤️❤️❤️and those kind and empathic Ukrainian solders helping him ❤️❤️what lovely people the Ukrainians ❤️❤️Keep safe thinking of you all xxx
Absolutely heartbreaking for the man. These men did the right think getting him to safety. Hopefully he can return to his home in time ❤🇺🇦❤️
This man was probably about 5 years old when the German Army overran Ukraine in 1941, and he survived that. Surreal that he almost died 81 years later in the 21st century from Russian shelling.
You witnessed both?
Damn.... my heart hurts for this man... I am 65, I cannot even imagine in any way of going through this.. May god and these amazing young men look over him and protect him..
Its killing him even the thought of leaving his home the soldiers dealt with him perfectly can just imagine something coming in on top of him and dying a slow death.... 💙💙💙💙💙
