Ukrainian business owner and chaplain, Vitaliy Kushnir, has lived in Canada since 2007.

Kushnir had the opportunity to visit Ukraine in 2019 and see the turmoil and destruction up close.
He shared footage he had taken from his visit to what was the village of Shyrokyne, Ukraine, and the remains of an elementary school.
In one of his videos he said, “I want to tell you Canadians, you sleep on your soft, warm beds, but in Ukraine, this is a Russian invasion.”
Vitaliy’s family and friends remain in the country, and according to him, many are used to living with the sounds of war.
