On December 31, 2022, as Kyiv prepared to welcome the New Year, the city was struck by a missile attack. This powerful security camera footage captures not only the moment of impact but also an incredible act of human kindness and bravery.

As the explosion shakes the restaurant, guests instinctively shield a waitress who was serving them at that very moment, protecting her from potential harm. In an extraordinary twist, it is said that this moment of crisis brought them together, and they later formed a family.
