As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, an Arizona realtor who was born in Ukraine hopes to find shelter for Ukrainians who are fleeing the country by getting in touch with people who have properties in Europe.
A view of a building damaged as a result of shelling of the city by Russian missiles in the center of Kharkiv, Ukraine.People in Arizona are still doing whatever they can to support Ukrainians who have been displaced by the ongoing Russian invasion of their country, and one realtor in Phoenix is gathering support in a unique way.
"Anything I can do," said Bortman. "I feel an obligation to the country I was born in. The pictures I've seen from out there, hospitals being blown up, apartments being blown up, it's devastating." "Ukrainian people are very resilient," said Bortman. "They have a motto: live free or die. So the spouses are staying behind to fight for their freedoms, and they want to protect their kids and grandparents. Even a lot of parents will stay if their son is fighting. They will pick up a gun at age 70 or 80 just to protect their country."
