 There were tears as Ukrainian couple Ivan and Zoya said goodbye after making the tough decision to part owing to the Russian invasion of their homeland. Disabled in 73 years old, Ivan Syrotiuk was becoming too much for Zoya to care for, so reluctantly they accepted a volunteers offer to drive him to safety away from the fighting in Ukraine's eastern town of Svyatovhorovka. The couple had been together for 20 years. He does not have anyone. He had two sons, but they died. His relatives refused to look after him, and I cannot do it on my own any longer, Zoya told Reuters while helping Syrotiuk to get dressed ahead of his journey. The couple bated tearful farewell on May 10th as he was driven off to an old people's home. They died. His relatives refused to look after him, and I cannot do it on my own any longer. What are you feeling now? I am feeling pain. I can feel the pain. Ivan, thank you so much. I wish you all the best. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you. This is the most difficult thing you can do. Thank you so much. Let's go. You can rest here. Don't rush. I don't want to go there. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you.
