Residents of Chicago's Ukrainian Village woke to the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, leaving them rattled and fearful for family back home.
The Russian military is pressing its invasion of Ukraine to the outskirts of the capital after unleashing airstrikes on cities and military bases, and sending in troops on 3 sides.
"What people told in Lujansk, that they just stop all public transportation. Grab every man possible to fight and just take them away," said Anatolii Konovaliuk.More News VideosMarta Farion with the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America is calling for every possible sanction against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia.
"My cousin mentioned his wife and children left for Western Ukraine 10 days ago," said Lydia Tkaczuk, president of the board of directors for the Ukrainian National Museum."He and his brother in law are staying in Kyiv to fight. To defend." "I'm feeling so bad. I'm because my friend go on the war today in the morning. So yeah, I'm crying all morning, and I don't know what will be in Ukraine," she said.
Fearful and losing sleep, many in these church communities are hoping the world will stop Putin from going any further.
