Her sister and aunt are in bomb shelters"We know that there was a car with a family with three kids, only one survived. Mom, dad and two daughters died. So it's insane. Regular citizens are dying. This is not how war is done," Oleynik said.
For Olga Kozachkova and her husband, Ukraine is home. They say family and friends are living in terror. "They cannot go outside. Thank God they have food and water, but they so scared. They so scared because there's shooting outside," Kozachkova said.It wasn't just a rally; it was a candlelight vigil as they called for"It's not Ukraine and Russia conflict. It's civilization against evil. And if you do not stop Putin today, tomorrow we'll pay the price," Alec Teytel said.

"Just a few days ago, the men, women, and children of Ukraine were living their lives just like you and I. Within hours, those same Ukrainians, who were enjoying their freedoms, are now finding themselves in a war that they did not ask for," Assembly member Mathylde Frontus said.
