A 11-year-old Ukrainian boy travels 600 miles alone to reach the border. The 11-year-old boy from Zaporizia fled to Slovakia with a plastic bag and a phone number written in his hand.
His mother put him on a train to the border, hoping he would be taken away by kind strangers. But the little boy decided to go alone.
The Slovak government said: "He won all this with his smile, fearlessness and determination, and is worthy of being a true hero." ”
Thanks to the phone number in his hand, the boy's relatives in Slovakia were contacted, and they were coming to pick him up.
He was called a "real hero" by Slovak officials.
