Crowd sings to wounded Ukrainian soldiers arriving in Minnesota to be fitted for prosthetic limbs

After putting their lives on the line for their country, five Ukrainian soldiers who lost limbs during the war made the more than 5,000-mile journey to Minnesota on Saturday, where with the help of a nonprofit, they will be fitting with new prosthetics.

The soldiers arrived to a hero's welcome, with dozens of Ukrainian-Americans and supporters waving flags and carrying signs of support at MSP International Airport.

And a related fundraiser/event on Sunday Aug. 7:

I love this so much, brought tears to my eyes. These Heroes needed that welcome so much after what they've been through. A huge thanks goes out to the people that were there to welcome them.

A show of love. They lost a limb and not their lives unlike so many that sadly gave their all for their country. Thanks to America to let them know all over the world we are appalled at their bravery. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲.
