Hi AniLekishvili.

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Commiserations on the lost videos.


Seems iCloud mainly syncs your files across devices.

Eg: If you delete a file from a device, that file is deleted everywhere that is in sync.


Once permanently deleted from the "Recently deleted" folder,

seems the only way to recover the files is by backing up all your current files to keep them safe,

and then restoring an earlier back-up that contained the desired files.


Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Else" if there is no back-up containing the files you want:

You can check your sent eMails / Messages to find copies of videos you have shared,

or

contact friends or family members who may have copies of the videos you want.


All the best :-)
