American Living in Ukraine Recounts the Past Year of War | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The war in Ukraine that began a year ago today has left many Ukrainian families scrambling for safety. Children in Ukraine were pulled from schools as homes and entire neighborhoods were demolished. Families fled to the less affected cities and beyond. Erik Heinonen works for Catholic Relief Services and shares his story as an American living in Ukraine. Erik's wife is Ukrainian and he walks us through the early days of the war with the choice he made to leave. He went to Romania for a bit but then decided to return to Ukraine. He explains that decision and what he found when he got home. Erik seems pretty settled and calm for living in a war-torn country. He discusses what it's like over there right now. With all the air raids, the fighting in nearby Belarus and electricity on the fritz, Erik tells us how his family is holding up. He fills us in on whether he is determined to stay put. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
