She moved to Anchorage in 2004 after meeting Alaskan Mike Robbins online and falling in love. Much of her family and former school mates remained back in the city that is just 30 miles away from the Russian border.When the shelling began, Robbins’ family hid in shelters, making it difficult to reach them to make sure they were safe.
There were at least 1,400 foreign-born Ukrainians in Alaska as of the most recent population data in 2015, according to state demographer Eric Sandberg. That included 500 in Mat-Su, 300 in the Delta area and 200 in Anchorage, with others scattered around the state.
