LOS ANGELES, USA – Ukrainians in the United States are making donations, sending money to relatives and mulling how they could get family out of a war zone, as they call on President Joe Biden and the wider world to do more to thwart Russia’s invasion.
“I’m sending money to support the medical groups in Ukraine so they can buy necessary things for people that will be wounded because there are already casualties,” she said during a protest. “In the worst case, they possibly can go to Poland and then we will think about moving them to the States,” she said.
“A lot of my friends and family stay over there right now because it is hard to leave,” said Olga Zimakova, 31, an aesthetician, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in America. “Right now, it’s hard to get money out of the bank.” With family in Ukraine and Russia, Thursday’s invasion brings back memories of past expulsions, which have hit peoples in the former Soviet Union for many decades in the past.
