With Russian troops continuing to close in on Ukraine's capital, local efforts are already underway on to help those attempting to push back their Russian aggressor.
In a video posted to Twitter Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he and the people of Ukraine are defending their country as Russian aggression escalates.
Back in 2016, the Obama administration shut down another Russian compound in Old Brookville as punishment for their alleged interference in the presidential election. As for Kovlskyy, he says he's not frightened because there are other people like him with brave hearts that want to defend their country."It's scary, but I am also proud of him. I'm proud of him for standing up," brother-in-law Denis Boudcha said.
