THIS is humanity at heart.

I hope it inspires other people to go and help, the world stands with Ukraine.

[luzgoncena]

It shows the true character of the Ukrainians. God bless them. May God keep them safe.

This made me cry. Ukrainians are awesome! Slava Ukraine 🙏💙💛

Nothing new in that. Anyone who grew up in Western Canada would know the helping others is what the Ukrainian communities have always done, from the first public free hospitals to national grain pools

[mummler]

These young people are amazing 💙💛
🙏🕊️🇺🇦

when i saw these people passing the rubble of this bombed out house it reminded me to the socalled "trummer frauen" in the bombed out cities of Germany at the end of ww2...
it is heartwarming to see these young people rebuilding the houses destroyed by Putin's hordes.
i wish them strenght and good luck!
SLAVA UKRAÏNE!!

These young people are the future of Ukraine, I wish them luck in their endeavours and hope the war ends soon with them as the victors.

This is cool. I would assume... I could be wrong, but this could be a little bit healing too.

[cgaudn]

I hope they are documenting everything and keeping their receipts, because Russia needs to reimburse them for everything that was destroyed by their illegal invasion.

[parkiwi]

Generation Z is finally waking up! They need have to, in the "free world too" Trump? Come on young adults get involved, I beg you!!!!

[kiketve]

THIS IS SO HEART BREAKING, IT MADE ME SO SAD, ALL BECAQUSE ONE MAN'S AMBITION? THESE PEOPLE ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES BECAUSE AT ANY MOMENT A RUSSIAN MISSILE CAN LAND ANYWHERE IN THESE AREAS, MY PROFOUND RESPECTS FOR THESE VOLUNTEERS, GOD BLESS THEM.
