One year later, Alina Beskrovna, of Ukraine, is back on United States soil but the journey to get here was far from easy.A day before Russia invaded Ukraine, a Lehigh University graduate from Mariupol, Ukraine spoke to Action News as she was taking shelter.
"Every soup became a question of life and death. Do you want to have lunch today, and are you willing to risk your life? People who tried to get out were either turned back because it was too dangerous with active fighting in the fields going on, or they were killed in action," she said."We were stuck in for a month, because whoever they did not leave in the first couple of days risking their lives, was stuck. The city was being besieged. It was encircled.
"I did not know which my father was alive until late May, when I was able to establish contact through people I've never met who were neighbors and lived across the steet," she said. "I got him out remotely through a stranger through Russia, because Russia would not allow Ukrainians to go to the Ukrainian controlled territory. They wanted everyone to pass filtration.""He lost 12 kilos, which is about 25 pounds. He didn't look like himself.
"Starting in Mariupol, and then your family traveled to Copenhagen as part of the EU program, and then their appointment was originally in Frankfurt. We got that transfer to Montreal, obviously all the records were lost in Mariupol do to the invasion. So, we had to reconstitute a lot of that. But I'm really glad to hear it worked out. We thought all the images, and and thought this type of brutality was permanently relegated to the history books," Fitzpatrick said.
