Ukrainian refugees in US ‘have nowhere to return’

WASHINGTON, 06 December 2022, (TON): As speculation mounted this past February about a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, Olena Galushko felt a pull to leave her country.

On February 23, just one day before the war erupted, Galushko packed three suitcases, gathered her family, and left their home in the Ukrainian city of Bucha. Galushko travelled with her three children – aged five, 10 and 14 – and her mother and her husband to Poland.

That unexpected road trip was the start of a physically and emotionally draining voyage for Galushko and her family, as they began new lives as refugees.

Today, they are starting fresh in the US state of California.
