This story also gives a glimpse into an even darker side of the war in Ukraine that hasn't been discussed much -- predators who target young women and children, now on their own, as they flee for safety.
Ukrainian woman and new mother Olga Korol, is stuck in Germany over issues with her infant's travel documents. They're trying to fly to SFO.
Lyudmila Rybchynska told us,"At first, Russian soldier only attacked, only bombed. But now they are, as, they look like a beast, look like the beast." The family considered leaving their village, but the father is an officer in the army fighting the Russians. The mother insists on staying to support him and to care for her parents because"they are older and they need my helping."
So, Lyudmila needed help getting her daughter out of the country. She reached out to a close friend from college - Anya's godmother, now a critical care nurse at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles."She said that if I'm going to die, if our kin will die out, then at least Anya will be safe.""Yeah. It was really -- touched us, some on a very, very human level, like deep, deep, deep inside.
Olena had just made connections at this rally at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Meka Voge and her husband found a family in Germany that would take Anya in.
