Ukrainians in US consider taking advantage of new status
March 4, 2022, 7:56 PMFILE - Harvard University student Nika Rudenko, second from right, marches on campus in support of Ukraine, Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022, in Cambridge, Mass. – Iryna Volvach traveled from Ukraine to California on a tour package with a friend and decided to stay for a few months. When Russia invaded Ukraine, leaving her stuck in the U.S., she worried about her children and grandchildren back home.
“They are happy I am here,” she said in Russian. “They are not worried about me. I am worried about them.” Citizens from a dozen countries are already in the United States under the TPS program, which is designated for people fleeing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. The countries include Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Haiti and Venezuela.
Rudenko, a 20-year-old Harvard University sophomore, says she stopped attending classes after the invasion started last week because she’s worried about her family, who remains in hiding in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Rudenko said she's also trying to raise awareness on campus about the situation.
