Anastasiya Rutus felt like staying in The City wouldn’t serve her country. Now she's using her voice to tell 'the story of my country and making sure that the voices of Ukrainians are not shadowed by Russian disinformation and propaganda.'
Viktor and Tetiana Sergiyenko left Kyiv at the end of January to spend a few months in San Francisco visiting their daughter, Anastasiya Rutus, and their young granddaughter. The couple is now stranded here in the wake of the Russian invasion.
“Continuously our cities are being bombed, the kids are being bombed and they’re intentionally being targeted and killed,” added Rutus. The Sergiyenkos arrived at the end of January to visit Rutus, who lives with her husband and their three-year-old daughter, and intended to leave at the beginning of March.
Major cities like Odesa, Kharkiv and Mariupol, areas which typically teem with life, are being attacked by Russian forces. “The devastation right now is impossible to fathom for me and for my parents. Even when we watch the videos and everything,” said Rutus. Though they are dealing with an onslaught of emotions, Rutus and her parents try to remain calm when communicating with loved ones back home so as to not add additional stress and worry to their circumstances.
To ensure that they are not circulating Russian misinformation or propaganda to their readers, Ukrainian newspapers, such as the Ukrainska Pravda, have cited their sources below their headlines to promote transparency and veracity to readers.
