Home > News Shots > WorldA 11-year-old Ukrainian boy from Zaporozhye,a city in South-eastern Ukraine, has left everyone shocked by walking alone to its western neighbouring border, Slovakia.
War
Russia is attacking Ukraine for more than 13 days. The Russian military is advancing, targeting Ukraine's major cities, airports and ports. The government says about 400 Ukrainians have died.
In addition, about 1.5 million people are fleeing Ukraine and seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. And this incident of a 11 - year - old boy leaving his parents and walking 1,400 km alone to neighbour Slovakia is doing heavy rounds.
Hero
Praising his efforts, Ukraine's Internal Affairs Ministry said that the child had made it to Slovakia alone "without adults" and that he was "alright". "He won everyone over with his smile, fearlessness and determination of a real hero," the ministry said.
Letter
His parents, who had urged the boy to walk alone and somehow reach Slovakia, mentioned in a letter his details, his passport and the address of the relatives who would pick him up. It seems that the parents had mentioned in the letter that their son should be included in the appropriate place. The boy traveled 1400 km holding this letter from his mother.
The Ministry of Slovakia has also posted about the safe arrival of the boy. They said that he had arrived in Slovakia with a plastic bag, passport and phone number written on his hand.
The boy who escaped from Ukraine after traveling about 1400 km without fear is being talked about virally around the world.
