Watch: Ukrainian emergency rescuer proposes to girlfriend amid emergency sirens

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February, several videos showing the Ukrainian people enjoying some moments of happiness in times of conflict and destruction have been winning hearts across social media. From impromptu musical performances to planned dance routines, the people of the war-torn country are looking for joy in every little thing. This time, a video of an emergency rescuer from Ukraine’s war effort proposing his partner has left the internet teary-eyed.

The video was shared by Anton Herashchenko, advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, on his personal Twitter on 30 July. In the 25-second-long video, the unidentified man can be seen getting down on one knee in front of his girlfriend and proposing to her with a bunch of flowers. He presents her with a ring as the girl tearfully accepts the proposal and gives him a tight hug.

This is our life now - we joke about "war-life balance".

This rescuer was saving people, now he is proposing. The siren wails for danger, now it sounds in joy.
