The event, Trucker Convoy for Ukraine, began about 8:30 a.m. in northwest suburban East Dundee. Dozens of semis rolled out about an hour later, ending up at the fountain. Stepan Nozhak, who has been a truck driver more than six years, organized the convoy as a way to support Ukraine’s efforts to keep control of their country as Russia invades, said Nozhak’s wife, Mariia Salii.
Salii said she’s scared when she gets a phone call from home or a text message, or when she opens a news story.She said it was unreal and she didn’t believe it would actually happen.Salii worried her dad will be asked to join the front lines.“I was on a StairMaster at a gym and I saw it on the TV, and I almost fell off the StairMaster,” she said. “So it was not a good feeling. I had slept three hours that day. And I had a very long workday afterward. I was very shaky physically, emotionally.
