The Race To Evacuate Ukraine’s Older Population



Volunteer organizations are racing to coordinate rescue efforts for older Ukrainian refugees in hard-hit areas, including Kharkiv and the Donbas region. In Ukraine, one in four citizens is over 60 years old, according to HelpAge International. Most don’t want to be evacuated from their homes, yet 91 percent need help getting food due to mobility issues. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Here's your real journalist for those who are too lazy to find anything other than mainstream crap paid for by the billionaires that profit from both sides of this war and using their puppets caused it.

  2. Make a race for Africans too.. keeping them in ukraine should be a war crime.
    Shame on Ukraine

  3. After a long enough time we assume those there want to be there and start to execute everyone, just like Germany did.

  4. EU spends $8 billion for Russian gas every month. Defend yourselves a-holes

  5. My grandmother is stubborn and would stay because it’s where she was born and where she’d want to be buried. Idk why some old people are like that.

  6. If Trump was in office this wouldn’t be happening. Democrats caused this suffering. Shame.

  7. All the World suffer because of just 1 Satanic inhumane cold blooded mass murderer terrorist. Its not Russians per se. Its just this 1 s.o.b

  8. May God help them!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  9. I wonder what Europe thinks Russia is saying? All Russia is saying is for Ukraine to be neutral not to be a part of nato.

  10. Why are we aiding a corrupt, cyber warfare, unstable country?

  11. To understand why, we need to discuss the many deceptions surrounding the Ukraine situation along with the many hypocrisies that undermine the narrative that westerners and specifically Americans need to be involved…

  12. The seniors and the children with their mothers should have gone out first

  13. 83 years ago, millions died because of 1 madman . (1939)

    83 years ago, simple solution was to remove 1 madman .

    83 years later, millions may die because of 1 madman . (2022)

    83 years later, simple solution is to remove 1 madman.

  14. THE OLD ARE JEWELS And i wish to explain. Most of them are devoted to OUR LADY OF HRUSHIV. This place is the HOPE of UKRAINE. And the old are the devotees of the message of MOTHER MARY. The answer——a Ballad writer plus a musician, the combo making the MESSAGE FROM ABOVE heard by more than ever b4, specially with the YOUNG. This is the true true true HOPE. My suggestion for this is the famous irish tenor: JOHN MCDERMOTT , who lives now in ONTARIO CANADA. This McDermott could turn out to be vehicle for the PEACE needed now. (meets putin half way, cause he prays to Mother Mary……though there be a disconnect in putin's heart, i believe with prayer and MCDERMOTT. BL MOTHER will turn out to be the PEACE…………

  15. These people have been through so much—WW2, USSR, and now war once again. They deserve dignity and respect.

  16. Ukrainians ask Journalist to TELL THE TRUTH about Ukraine attacks – Ukrainians shelled by Ukraine Azov Nazis

    Asking Mariupol Residents About Russian Attacks On Civilian areas

  17. "JAPAN has become SLAVE of America When Nuclear Weapon lounched in Hiroshima+Nagasaki…. So I think GOOD for RUSIA, for Lounch NUCLEAR WEAPON TO UKRAINA… so The world will Respect to RUSIA like the world Respect to U.S + Israellll"

  18. Zelensky knew Russian troops were building up on his borders. First in September of 2021 and then again in November. A Russian invasion was imminent. His first responsibility is to his citizens, especially the vulnerable.
    Why were pregnant women, woman and children, the sick, orphans, the aged not relocated via bus or train free of charge? An undertaking, yes, but it would have been better than whats gone on in the last month.

  19. It’s a blessing to see the wicked destruction what all the prophets wanted to see.. esau kingdom falling Jacob is the beginning of his world

  20. Hope there will be more Ukrainians people can quick come to Poland

  21. Bless all Ukranians, eternal shame on russia and putin!

  22. On biden visit to Poland. He took Madeline Albright as an example of fighting for freedom.
    When 60 min asked that freedom fighter in 1996 about half million iraqi kids died due to barbbricand inhumane embargo, her answer was
    IRAQI KIDS DEATHS WORTH IT
    THIS IS USA!!!!

  23. Sounds like the Russian army likes killing the old and children

  24. I took care of both my parents in their later years – I cannot imagine elder care/support in a war zone — Bless the volunteers

  25. Oh lord why can’t they be brown or black….. Asian at least!!!!!!! Why why why oh lord white peoples getting killed it’s too much for us gringos!!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😎🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

  26. Title 42 lifted!!! As Trump said this will bring rapists murderers and other things into our country! Oh wait these are white people.. Nevermind he just meant brown people. Carry on!

  27. I remember our President calling these people losers. They are captured like John McCain. Big time losers. A real winner would never get captured and Donald J Trump was. Never captured in any war. A winner. Please tune in to Tucker and Hannity tonight to hear how these losers are just like McCain and if they had the vigor and stamina of a Trump they would Not be captured like a loser McCain. MAGA – anyone who disagrees is a socialist or RINO. MAGA and things.

  28. Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus should not go anywhere without his army for protection… better have an early Christmas with putin they won't make it to December-25… 🌻💪💝

    Александр Лукашенко из Белоруссии никуда не денется без своей армии для защиты… лучше встречайте рождество пораньше с путином, они до 25 декабря не доживут…

  29. At some point you have to respect that they may be ready to leave this earth before they have to leave their homes. I just can't imagine how difficult this is on them. My heart goes out to all Ukrainians. Shame on Putin for what he has done. Beyond cruel.
