A family of Ukrainian refugees who came to Tucson 30 years ago is now watching as their loved ones hide from Russian attacks in Kyiv. They say Tucson is rallying behind them.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Olga Chausovskaya and her family fled Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, in 1991. They landed in Tucson in order to start a new life.
Now, they’re fearfully watching the Russian attacks in their home country. Dozens of their close family members are in Kyiv, in hiding.“We were so shocked,” Olga’s daughter Irina said of the attacks beginning this week. “It doesn’t make sense. Because Ukraine and Russia, we’re brothers and sisters.”“My 14-year-old cousin wants to stay and fight,” she said, holding back tears. “It’s just really beautiful to see this country just defending itself to the last breath.
