It’s been 12 days since Russia invaded Ukraine and so far 1.7 million Ukrainians have left their country. A U.N. official has called the exodus the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II. Gov. Phil Murphy has said New Jersey is ready to welcome Ukrainians here and to find them homes. But refugee settlement agencies are still struggling to find housing for Afghan refugees who have been resettled here.
Archbishop Daniel Zelinksy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, said, “Most bridges outside the capital are destroyed. There are road blocks, there are checkpoints. And so people are having very difficult time to leave those major cities because of constant bombing… And that’s why we are keep begging NATO forces, and United Nations, and United States of America to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine … to protect the innocent people, so at least they have a chance to escape.”
