The Russian invasion into Ukraine has forced thousands of people to flee their homes and start a new life in a different place. Many Ukrainians, who are not in their homeland, are doing everything they can to support the country they love.
It's the mission behind an art gala on Saturday with Ukrainians featured as the artists. Most of the art that will be at the gala has been transported to Denver from the heavily-bombed city Kharkiv by Maria Manuilenko.
Manuilenko was helped by a driver who saw her at a train station and took her to a different checkpoint. She arrived in America with her bags full of paintings from Ukrainian artists. One of the pieces is from an artist who is serving in the Ukrainian military. The artwork will be featured in Art of Ukraine, a gala scheduled for June 11. Those with the exhibition said the money raised will go toward tactical support for Ukrainians. Manuilenko will be transporting the supplies.
