“Take my daughter, please”: The story of the reporter Sol Macaluso who went viral when she cried narrating a moving request from Ukraine

Hundreds of deaths, bombed places, destruction and separated families is just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening in Ukraine after Vladimir Putin decided to carry out an operation to “demilitarize” the European country.

All the media in the world have their eyes on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which is why the big television networks seek to tell most of the stories narrated from the protagonists themselves.

And it is the story of a young reporter that moved millions of people around the world. Her arrival in the war zone occurred after the communications company Mediaset chose her after making a chronicle for the digital newspaper “El Debate”.

After the start of the military offensive ordered by Putin, Macaluso reports for several programs of that media network and for Telemundo.

Her passion for journalism took her to the Ukraine, and she gallantly moves daily in search of the news. Sol obtained her degree only two years ago, in February 2020. Her story reflects the determination to achieve her goal of graduating in Information Sciences in Spain, where she came from her native Argentina, mentions the Cadena portal 100.

While studying, she saw no problem in combining her career with the job she had practiced for years, that of being a professional makeup artist, in order to achieve her dream of being a reporter.

The hard story of the reporter Sol Macaluso from Ukraine

The reporter Sol Macaluso, who is in Ukraine offering a “Minute by Minute” for the Telecinco network and other international media, broke down in tears in the middle of the interview when narrating how she had to take care of a Ukrainian girl, the daughter of her guide.

Through tears, the Argentine said: “My guide has asked me to take her daughter” during a live interview with journalist Patricia Pardo from the “Ana Rosa” program.

The journalist is currently in Lviv, on the border with Poland, and recounted her experiences with her team. “We have to improvise looking for supplies to continue on the road. It is especially sensitive, because we are approaching the border, which indicates that the family of my cameraman and my guide are crossing and they are staying here, ”she lamented with marked sadness.

The young woman and her team do not have a concrete plan to leave the attacked country. “We have people who are at the border and they inform us of the situation,” she says. Macaluso also assures that the families of his companions will have to wait practically a whole day until they can cross the border: “Since they do not have press accreditation they will have to queue a lot, we are talking about 20 or 25 hours of queuing.”

Unable to contain his tears, Macaluso told the viewers the harsh farewell he will experience once he crosses the border. “Our guide has asked us very emotionally to take his daughter, please,” she said very emotionally in front of the camera.

Impromptu plan to escape Ukraine

The Spanish journalist Patricia Pardo was moved and consulted him from the studio. “How are you organizing yourselves to manage your day to day and know if you are going to have shelter for tonight?”, to which Macaluso answered with a broken voice: “Our wonderful and wonderful guys take care of that with the pain, in addition to knowing that they are going to have to separate from their family.”

Nobody is prepared for this. I have known these people for more than a month, we have shared the whole day and it is very hard that they have to stay to defend their country, leave their family behind. For someone to come and tell you ‘please take my daughter and take care of her’. What are you gonna tell him? There are no words

As to whether he will take care of the girl, Sol Macaluso answered emphatically: “Of course, it’s my family now, it’s my sister.” In addition, he explained that his guide “has to go back to look for her wife, who in order to continue with our work she stayed 40 kilometers from Kiev, in one of the houses where we spent the night” .

After moving all the viewers, the Argentine journalist dismissed the connection to continue on her way and look for a place to spend the night before continuing towards the border.

Through her social networks it was learned that the girl has already left Ukraine and is about to go to Spain with “Martina”, a member of the reporter’s team. She also remembered that she is in Lviv, bordering Poland, so it could mean that she is about to leave the country. (I)
