That doesn‘t make this case any less sad
@@Ri57490 so the fuck what?! Go troll one of those RUclips videos!!!
Oh Honey, Your Mom must have been something else to raise an incredible son like you. I guarantee that all she cared about when she died was that you were unharmed. That’s why her last words were “I’m OK”. You will do a great job with your little brother and sisters. They are so lucky to have you.
I think her body protected him from the blast. That's probably what was most important to her was that he was safe. ❤❤😢
I mean he calls them his children
Yeah probably that was the reason
Keep coping weakling
So much pain and sadness for him to bear💔....I know he miss her so much....how horrible to have to bury
his mother by himself 🥀
What a strong person. Witnesses his Mom's death and then takes care of his siblings at such a young age. His mother is definitely proud!
His mother would be proud of him. Hopefully all the family can stay together and get the help they need.
They deserve a future, they should finally be free after all they went through.

I hope there’s lots of supportive people around him and his family, he’s giving hugs but that child is only 18 and needs the biggest hug. I hope he gets it.

@LYCKA what was the need for such a false statement
The focus here is on his loss, not mother vs father
@LYCKA you need both a mother and father for various reasons. Anyways, he has to be both wich will be Hard but i wish him the best.
He's magnificent. I want them all to be safe. He's still a kid himself and that tried is unbearable. I hope they all stay safe and what ever kind of person his mom was, I know she'd be proud. What happened to her was unjust.
She must have been an amazing woman and Mother. She raised these kids to be wonderful human beings. Bless them and pray they will have their dreams and they come true. RIP to the Mother.
Incredible man. Only really entering adulthood, lost his mother and taking on the responsibilities of looking after his brothers and sisters. couldn't imagine myself in his shoes. I hope he gets the support he needs to ensure he follows his dream and his family is provided what they need. His mother would be proud.
My eldest uncle was his age 18-19 when my grandfather, a state govt doctor died in his late 30s leaving behind 9 kids and a wife...my grandmother was uneducated...married very young at 17 in those olden times in a very conservative society and culture in a country in Asia. So, my eldest uncle gave up his dreams and dropped out of college where he just got admitted for a physics major by his dad a few months ago before his death. He worked multiple jobs to help his mother bring up his siblings cuz the govt pension my grandmother used to get since my grandfather was govt employee wasn't enough to feed a hugh family...My father was in 7th grade when his dad passed away
This beautiful young boy. This is disgraceful. Show this to the Biden adm and EU mad Ursula. Russia trued peace talks but the west was not interested. From a western country.
Must have been an incredible mom as well.
This evil war from Russia is completely NOT acceptable!! It makes me furious!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
When his mother said “I’m ok” even after being hit by the explosion, says a lot about this selfless mother. Look at the damage we humans are doing on ourselves. In the name of property, religion or oil, value of life is lost.

This is tragic. Having your own mother die in your arms, and taking responsibility to take care of your siblings takes a lot of pressure. I’m glad he wasn’t injured, and he’s doing great taking care of his siblings.
Naaah i wouldn't say tragic
@@Altair282 it is pretty tragic to have to see your mother die in your own arms. At least it’d be a tragedy for me.
@@Altair282 are you a moron?
@@Altair282 Nope dude that’s pretty traumatic. Imagine holding someone you love in your arms while they take their last breath…it would be traumatizing. Of course that’s just your opinion but in mine it is pretty tragic.
I'm 17 in a few months. Cannot imagine what would I do if this happened to me. God Bless him and his family.
What a mature, compassionate, selfless and sensitive young man. His mother would be very proud. Praying for peace in Ukraine and that he realize his dream of becoming a doctor.
Prayers are a nice gesture. If you actually want to do something, there are plenty of charities to donate to and organizations to volunteer for
The heartbreak in his voice and eyes when he talks about his mother is truly devastating. His strength is so admirable.
Those war mongers didn't win, the amazing mother said she's OK too because she doesn't want to let them win. He will feel thankful for this later as I lost a parent at 16, not in as much devastating circumstances where I seen them actually die in a brutal way of course but losing a parent at a young age can strengthen and mature the human mind so much in later life, you're more emotionally advanced than most people around you with a tougher skin. I mean it depends on individual but I have faith this kid will do fine, it's good to see him get it all out of his system
I'M THE 900TH LIKES I FEEL LIKE A GOD
I'm 34, sadly I'm living with a chronic illness so I can't look after him. Watching him like this I want adopt the lot of them. When people cry I wish I could relieve the pain.
This comment was very sweet, and it shows alot about your personality ❤
@@ahmedibrahim3623 Thank you Ahmed. 😃
I look at him and see a kid who is going to have to grow up way too fast…but a kid that has the strength to do so. Bless you, dude. You got this. Especially with your mom watching out for you.❤❤❤❤❤
When you realize the younger siblings are being strong for their brother's sake it makes this story even more heart wrenching. "When I came in, they understood everything."
The reason is that they are still very little to understand the lose and pain like their 18 years old brother.
@@jennkitchen4559 not exactly though. I was 10 when i lost my uncle and i truly understood at the time the sadness of losing someone. So yes in my opinion his siblings are also staying strong for his sake.
@@jennkitchen4559 I agree. The brother being 18 is already mature enough and able to consume heavier topics or events rather than the younger ones. They too must feel absolutely heartbroken. But for him he’s not thinking of himself. He’s turned into a mother and a father. Thinking about his children. The responsibility naturally just falls on his shoulder being the eldest. Understanding everything from planning on where to have a funeral. And all the money situation. He will have that picture playing in his mind when it’s late at night and missing his mom but trying to sleep. It will probably hit his younger siblings when they’re older. Not that they aren’t grieving now though. I just wanna hug all of them
The mother's last word was "I'm okay." She knew she wasn't but she didn't want her baby to see her like this. A true mother to the end!
He rose above this tragedy and focused on his siblings. He seems to get strength and comfort that he will raise them and try and do his best to keep their childhood and dreams. That will give him strength and comfort for the future. They have each other.
We may speak different languages but we all feel the same emotions. May his mom Rest In Peace. This is one strong 💪 young man.
I just want to hug this kid. He’s just a kid that has had to grow up so fast in the blink of an eye. Not only bearing the pain of his mothers loss but having to bear the pain for his siblings too. He’s so strong, brave, and amazing. I really hope the best for this family and that he can have some peace in the future.

Money 💰 🤑 💸
In Afghanistan children who are only 8 or even 5 have to take care of their siblings alone. My heart breaks for all those innocents suffering. In Ukraine, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, everyone. Innocents deserve the world because they never asked to lose their family, they just wanted to live their life is it too much to ask? To stop fighting that’s too much to ask? These developed countries pride themselves on being “modern” whilst Destroying every other modern country and turning it into a “developing and uncivilized” country. Killing hundreds upon thousands of innocent babies women and men. Yet NOW people open their eyes. When it happens to them. Give everyone empathy please.
Sorry for rambling, just emotional
She must have been a wonderful mother to have raised such a fantastic honorable young man. May he be blessed always.His mother would be so proud of him. Im sure he will make a great MD.

I really hope the end of this war
@NightSeaBreeze perhaps so but there will be a lot of deaths as a result because of that one individual.
I could imagine how he will have to fend for himself and his siblings their father probably is at front now, and probably also not coming back. I cried when he stated, what his sister asked. Does anything could be done so mom would be saved. Furthermore, there is existing risk since he's 18 his country to call him for arms wherever they are it has be sure that he's protected from something like this to happen, otherwise his siblings are left at the hands of the merciless foster system.
The fatherly instinct and joy in his eyes when he talks about his siblings is beautiful. I'm sure they'll all be ok.

He is a incredible young man who is a Hero, I hope that he gets help so he can live a life as well as his siblings. I was the main carer for my mum who had dementia and was also disabled. I also looked after my dad as his main carer who had cancer plus many other medical issues, I couldn't get enough sleep as I had to get up immediately if one of my parents needed me, my life was on hold. My beloved mum died in 2017 and my beloved dad died in 2019. I have a lot of sympathy and understanding how he has put his siblings first and look after them and become there responsible adult and father figure. He is amazing and what he had to go through in Ukraine and for his beloved mum to die in his arms is so heartbreaking, it is a scar he will live with even if he gets help, that feeling will be with him for the rest of his life.

All the Ukrainians are so strong.. Lot's of love and support from Greece❤️ I really hope this was all just a bad dream. No country deserves something that horrible.
When something like this happens and you know the responsibility falls on you, an invisible force invades you and forces you to be strong for your loved ones. I had a similar experience once, and all I can say is when you think you’re the most vulnerable is when you meet your real strength.
I'm 25 and still feel like a 6 years old. Early this year my parents traveled and I took care of my 2 younger brothers for 3 months. I almost went crazy, it was exhausting, cooking, taking them to school, we have maids to clean and wash our clothes, but still, I wanted to run 🏃🏾♀️ away. It makes me not want to have babies, that's alot of work and stress.

I don’t understand why westerners who are the same age as him often still demand to be treated as small children…
@@revolutionaryhealing9992 Small children? Nobody wants to be treated like a small child at the age of 18 regardless of nationality. But just because 18 year olds have turned old enough to take care of themselves doesn't mean that they can take care of and raise children the way a 37 year old could. They are still very new to adulthood.
@@tinydust6835 My bad, I was thinking of an anecdotal example of another 18 year old I had corresponded with in the US who seemingly liked to use his age as an excuse for his extremely grating child like behavior. He also insisted that many other kids his age were actually worse than him. I understand that he only hung around the bottom of the barrel and most 18 year olds or even younger have brains which are far more developed. My thinking is that if you’re old enough to be conscripted or enlist, you’re old enough to not use that as an excuse.
@@revolutionaryhealing9992 Oooh okay I'm sorry 😅
@@revolutionaryhealing9992 It doesn't help that even if you're 18 in the U.S., you're still treated like a child, yet by legal standards, you're an adult. 18 year olds can't even indulge in adult pleasures like drinking or gambling, yet they're still expected to step up and fight for their country. But even by Western standards, Ukranians had to grow up too fast to deal with the deadly situation in their country. Just a few months ago, those Ukranian kids were just like us, goofing off and enjoying their youth. Now they have to fight for their country when they barely have had a taste of adulthood.

@MIG 25 WTF is wrong with you? He is only 18yo. He's practically still a child. I will assume you yourself haven't even experienced anything close to what this child has so of course you're able to be smart behind the screen.
poor baby 😢 no one should have to go through this ... such a traumatizing experience
Ukraine, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Myanmar, and all of humanity which is suffering my prayers are with you ❤️❤️❤️
Мне жаль парня. Я не могу представить свою жизнь без родителей... Ему лишь 18, но что он уже пережил чудовищно страшно. Я надеюсь он будет в порядке, как и его сёстры
Translation: I'm sorry guy. I can't imagine my life without my parents... He's only 18, but what he's already experienced is terribly scary. I hope he is ok, as are his sisters.
@@King_Krakken That is the translation as I wrote.
@@pixibelle3282 You translated it perfect) Thank you, hope you have a nice day)

You are a beautiful young man. Your mother's light shines through you and you are making a huge difference in your siblings lives! Grace surrounds you. ❤❤❤❤
Hello Donna how are you doing today?
Yes my sweetheart you can do everything young boy. God bless you always love from Ladakh India.
This guy is a hero!.. Such mental strength!.. It’s not easy to bring a smile when he is experiencing so much Pain and has such a burden!.. I wonder what happened to the dad!.. Is he alive? How would they manage for money?
If there's anyway to help them, please let us know. I'm a grown man, a father, my son is 15, I can't imagine having to take care of 4 kids in a war zone, let alone being only 18 myself. May the grace of God be upon them, may these children grown up like their older brother: wise, stoic, human and determined. This one got me, hard.
He is on PayPal
@@annaal7480 where? - searched his name and nothing shows up
Me too.This young man is very traumatised,he needs support.heartbreaking.
I agree. We have 3 kids and is hard to imagine they could handle such situation.Our prayers for them. We keep them in our hearts
Where?
We need to set up a way we can assist and support this young man who is raising his siblings, and the millions of others who are devastated or orphaned by this war.
This agony is mostly because of American policy .
@@sujathaprakash629 Oh fuck off with that bullshit.
@@sujathaprakash629 🥱 Putin and RF
@Sujatha Prakash Not helpful!
@@sujathaprakash629 ... so you have a big love for Putin the murdering barbarian.
You are a wonderful son , and a wonderful brother, Jesus will be always with you.
Cant even imagine what he went through, may she rest in peace💔 sending prayers and best wishes to the family
Heartbreaking 💔. For him to be with his mum and witness the explosion. He gave first aid. I'm sure it must've been hard enough to leave her to get help, then coming back, to find she had passed 😢. God wrap your arms around this young family, keep them safe from further harm. He is wise beyond his years, a tribute to how his mum brought him up.
He is 2 years younger than me. God bless him and his siblings.
Don't feel sad , be strong son, your mother help you frm heaven above 🙏
You are a very good big brother, your mother would be proud of you 👍God bless you all 🙏
The wounds of war are not always physical. This brave young man has lost a big part of his heart. He will never forget who did this to his mom & his Ukraine. The younger children will never forget either. May he recieve all the love & support he could ever need. Know your mom will always watch over you. Slava Ukraini 🌻🌻🌻💙💙💙🐞🐞🐞
💔💔💔💔💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Neither we would
Of course not. A whole people are terrorized with huge trauma! No one would be okay ever after experiencing the torture, rape and murder of their family, friends and loved ones!
“I want them to have a child hood” that was so nice, in most stories of a parent dead they are really sad.
No way his mother died in his arms and he's still so brave, something that I could not achieve.
What a remarkable young man. His own childhood is over. Yet his aim in life is to make sure that his siblings childhood are great. As he said, I'm sure his Mother is with them. And I'm sure that she would be so proud. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦. From the UK 🇬🇧
This young man is a hero as much as a victim of the war. I hope this little family gets help, support and aid going forward. Stay strong💜🙏
In Canada there are many families who would be willing to receive them and help them. What a brave boy.
Separating them, no that's not good idea
@@reieben886 I believe Ivan meant they would take in the whole family not separate them.
No you need more middle eastern men.
When I tell u I had a melt down hearing him, no one deserves to go through this may god bless him with plenty in afterlife ur the champ dude stay strong u got it under control and trust me ur mom is proud!💕
I swear they need to stop this war lots of kids are losing their parents because of this! 😔😕
People don't immediately get that kind of "maturity" necesary for adult life as soon as they become 18. Most people still feel like kids for at least few years till 26 or so when they try to figure many things out. He still looks like a kid in my eyes, hope he can get through this.
@Clayton Catlin
I agree with you, but the brain is not fully developed until 25 regardless.
@@xmr.ai-emixc2918 Plenty of people have kids and get married before 25 tho. Should their kids be taken away from them even if they are married and have a career already?
@@disneytoysr4fun975 Doesn’t change the fact that the brain doesn’t fully develop until 25.
@@noitsnot5085 Some men never develop beards, they still a man tho lol.
@@Nameless-ny8nk What point are you trying to make? The brain doesn’t fully develop until 25.
I grew without a father and a gambling mother, my sister was just so young when she took the responsibility of raising all 6 of us siblings by herself. Nothing in this world could ever pay my debt to her, she sacrificed her young life into becoming a mom of 6 kids. I grew up knowing I don't have a right to ask her for anything, she already did so much.
watching this is so hard for me
your sisters a legend. i can't imagine taking care of 6 kids, i'm not even good with kids tbh.
Ur sister is amazing💗
I am speechless ,your sister is so amazing.to think how much of an effort she has to put in taking care of 6 children ,i cannot even imagine.
That's really nice I'm sorry ur parents turned out that way it should never ever happen to anyone 👍🏻
Have you given back to her?
you so strong man
Incredible young man. You can see the trauma in his eyes. I hope and pray this young man gets the support that he needs.
What a remarkable and compassionate young man , he is a credit to his poor mother.
I hope he and his siblings have the future they deserve.
I’m sobbing. I can’t imagine what he is going through and what he has to do with 4 siblings at such young age. If something like this ever happened to me I wouldn’t know what to do
There are millions of girl like him, but it very rare to have such devotion, dedication and sacrificial feelings in a male. Respect
Your heart breaks for this 18-year-old who loves his mom & siblings so much that her murder has cast him front & center into taking care of all 5 of them now. God is watching & I pray Vyacheslav will be the best family protector & make Ukraine a fine & amazing Doctor someday as well. Prayers to Maryna's children. Prayers for Ukraine & all her children.
