Following President Trump’s heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week, some Ukrainian New Yorkers were left feeling upset.
Over the weekend, leaders from over a dozen countries got together to discuss a roadmap to peace and security for Ukraine, as the country faces its third year of war with Russia. The emergency summit was also aimed at working to preserve Ukraine’s relationship with the U.S. and America’s involvement in the war overseas.
We spoke to Dr. Larysa Dyrszka, a Ukrainian-American residing in Sullivan County and a retired pediatrician, for her reaction.
