'If God allows Ukraine to be occupied, we cannot go back.' A Ukrainian couple now living in Indianapolis talks about what the past few days have been like for them.
INDIANAPOLIS — They're from Ukraine, but made their way to Indianapolis before the invasion started.
As soon as the United States started sounding the alarm about an imminent Russian invasion, their friends and colleagues through Mission to Ukraine, a Christian non-profit based in Central Indiana, began pleading with the couple to leave with their two kids. They had active visas which made the process easier, but leaving their family and friends, along with their oldest son who's in college in Lithuania, wasn't an easy decision.
"We know that Russia has never accepted independence of Ukraine. It has always been wanting to get it back," Olga said. "Russia, Putin wants to revive Soviet Union. We have lived under the Soviet Union, so I would never want to go through it again." "We're willing to come back if God allows. We're willing to come back to our church, our ministry, our work, our parents that are there," Ruslan said.
