Volunteers, Church Groups Help Ukrainian Refugees In Mexico

The visa requirements in Mexico are less strict for Ukrainians, so refugees are arriving in Tijuana and then making their way to the U.S.

At the airport in Mexico the signs in Cyrillic catch their eyes. A Ukrainian flag and the words "We'll help." 

They've landed in Tijuana, directed by volunteers from a loose network of Ukrainian churches in the U.S.

Oleskandr Zanozovskyi is with his wife and daughter. They're from western Ukraine. He told Newsy he's still coping with the anxiety of fleeing a war at home. They're among the dozens of daily arrivals and volunteers expect many more. The airport is the first link in this network. From there, they drive to a sports complex in this border city.
