“This is what we're fighting for. They haven't seen each other for 30 weeks,” the caption reads,

And the text on the video reads, “30 weeks in the war, finally our long-awaited meeting.”

The video was originally posted by the pregnant woman, Yanina Sham, on her Instagram handle where she wrote “I will always remember these three days. The first one is when the war started. The second one is when you said you were going to protect me. And the third is when you come back. L O V E . - I'm waiting (sic).”
