Members of Philadelphia's Ukrainian community gathered Thursday to rally for peace as Russia's invasion of their homeland continued for a second day.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, unleashing airstrikes on cities and military bases and sending in troops and tanks from three sides in an attack that could rewrite the global post-Cold War security order. Ukraine’s government pleaded for help as civilians piled into trains and cars to flee.
Igor, a church member, said he was born in Ukraine during the Soviet area and it's been disturbing to watch his countrymen's independence come under attack. Ukrainian-born Yuriy Shumylo told FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce that some of his cousins fled the carnage by escaping to Poland. His father couldn't bear to watch the headlines.
