From battlefront waves to heartfelt gifts: A young boy's encounter with Ukrainian pilots

A boy living near the front waved at the Ukrainian military personnel flying above him, waving them with a flag. The pilots decided to reciprocate and landed in a nearby field, giving him toys, sweets, and food for his family.

Ukrainian military personnel decided to reciprocate the support shown to them. When they flew helicopters on a mission, the boy living near the front supported them each time by waving the Ukrainian flag.

The military helicopter pilots decided to land near the boy and personally thank him for his support. The military did not come empty-handed; they delivered toys, sweets, and food for his family, according to Ukrainian media.
