On Friday night, Rakowsky and several other Ukrainian-American veterans gathered and discussed the boiling tensions at the border.
Roman Rakowsky immigrated to the U.S. in 1952, at that time Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union. The images of Russian troops gathered on the Ukrainian border are concerning, but not shocking to him.
In the same room that News 5 interviewed Kostryk are pictures from the Soviet Famine, where millions of Ukrainians starved to death in the 1930's due to an effort ordered by Joseph Stalin.
