It’s been months since the Russo-Ukraine war broke out which claimed the lives of many Ukrainian civilians and others. People had to flee from their homes and take refuge in bordering countries as Russia continued to attack the country, while some decided to take up arms and fight. Heart-wrenching stories of the people left thousands on the internet teary-eyed.

The latest post by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is a tear-jerker. They shared a poem written by a Ukrainian soldier to his daughter which tugged at people’s heartstrings on the internet. The poem, as post details, was written by the soldier in response to a letter from his daughter.
