'It’s devastating': Ukrainians in Canada help families in war zone

Ukrainians in Canada are doing everything they can to help their families overseas as they flee in desperation or go into hiding in Ukraine.

In a cramped hiding space, five kilometres north of Kyiv, Serhii Marchenko’s friends and family are desperately hiding out from the bombing. 

“It’s devastating, it destructs myself inside when I’m here and I cannot do anything,” he said.

Marchenko is also Ukranian, but currently lives in Ontario for college.

The 19-year-old keeps in touch with his loved ones in Ukraine via video conferencing.
