Utahns have played a pivotal role in supporting Ukrainians — that’s one of the messages the Consul General of Ukraine shared in an exclusive interview with FOX 13 News.
Dmytro Kushneruk serves as Consul General of Ukraine for the Western region. Kushneruk’s consular district includes states from Hawaii to Wyoming, yet it is Utahns who have given unique support to Ukraine.
In those meetings, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints committed $5 million, along with semi-trucks of food and supplies, for those in Ukraine. “That’s why the humanitarian aid and everything that can be collected here in Utah, specifically, is very important right now,” said Kushneruk. “What Putin did not expect that Ukrainians, as a nation, would unite and fight so strong,” said Kushneruk.He said it is not a question of whether Ukraine will win the war against Russia, but rather what the war will cost.
