Bukunmi Damilola Oluwamogbiele said he has "new energy" now that he's safely in Nova Scotia with his family away from the war in Ukraine.
A Ukrainian family is settling into the community of Elmsdale, N.S., after being separated for months because of the Russian invasion.
Bukunmi Damilola Oluwamogbiele said he has “new energy” and is ready to start a “new chapter, knowing that (his) loved ones are safe.”
Oluwamogbiele was working on a transport vessel and away from his family when the Russian invasion started at the end of February.
He was unable to return to his family because of the escalating conflict and eventually urged his wife to flee with their young children.
“When the war started they shut down the airport. There was basically no means of transportation, so it had to be by road. The responsibility of getting them out safely — that was the most difficult part,” he said.
