Matthew Frantsuzhan, 17, arrived from Ukraine in the U.S. in August 2021 for an opportunity to study music in West Des Moines, Iowa. Now, his home country has been invaded by Russia.
"If I return to my hometown right now, it will not be the same city as I remember." "If I go back at all, they will send me to the war to die there, and I don’t want this to happen."
Now, after less than a year of studying music here, the teen is living with uncertainty and worry as his home — where his friends and immediate family were residing — was located near the original invasion zone.
