PHILADELPHIA - A Montgomery County couple is returning to their homeland of Ukraine to help defend against Russia's ongoing invasion which has intensified over the last week.The husband and wife, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, have watched in disbelief as Vladimir Putin's army continues to bombard their former home."For myself, I knew from the beginning that I'm going to go.
I want to do something. I just cannot stay here," the 33-year-old wife said. Russia claimed to have taken control of its first major Ukrainian city, Kherson, on Wednesday but the claim has been disputed.
In a video address to the nation early Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Ukrainians to keep up the resistance but didn’t comment on whether the Russians have seized any cities, including Kherson."They will have no peace here," Zelenskyy said. "They will have no food.
They will have here not one quiet moment."Pastor Roman Kapran, President of the Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Convention in the U.S., discusses the latest developments in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.The rogue couple left their jobs before setting out on a noble mission to help fight for the freedom of Ukraine.
