The volunteers at the border crossing immediately brought him inside to warmth, provided him with food & drink and gave him comfort.
He amazed them all with his defiant smile, fearlessness and determination, worthy of a true hero.

Thanks to the phone number written on his hand and a piece of paper in his pocket, police managed to contact relatives who came for him later. A rare, happy ending during extremely dire times. ๐๐ธ๐ฐ

The reason I used the adjectives *amazing* & *heartwarming,* is this little boy made it out alive of a devastating warzone, alone, on foot, and made it safely to Bratislava to stay with relatives. His mother & sick, immobilized grandmother are still in harm's way in Ukraine. ๐๐ผ๐๏ธ
Remarkable follow-up. Hassan was born in Syria, where his father was killed during Russian military strikes.
โWe know this all too well. We fled Putinโs army from Syria when I was 12. We lived in Ukraine for eight years & now we're fleeing from Putin again.โ โ Hassan's brother

This article is in Hungarian, which cites an interview with Hassan's older brother, who is a university student in Bratislava, Slovakia.
To think this family faced Putin's cruelty in two different countries, spanning continents, is truly astounding.

For those who wrote that he was welcomed because he was *white,* not everything is as simple as it seems. Slovakian Police has numerous videos with African & Arab refugees who've been warmly received at the border, as was this Syrian little boy. ๐๐ผ๐๏ธโค๏ธ
