“We cannot allow what happened 1940s to happen again today,” said Yulia Holko, a board member of the Utah Ukrainian Association. “Our brothers and sisters on the ground in Ukraine are fighting for their land.

She also called upon European countries to provide Ukraine with military resources, since although civilian militias are fighting the Russian army, the country remains vulnerable from the air.
