Daily News | For Philly Ukrainian Americans, military victories over Russia generate hope and elation
Ukraine’s stunning series of military victories has cheered a local Ukrainian American community that sorely needed some good news.But that doesn’t mean anyone has stopped working, stopped pushing to deliver supplies, donations, and attention to a Ukrainian war effort that is suddenly reclaiming ground.
“Their hearts. ... Something shifted. Something shifted inside,” said Iryna Mazur, honorary consul to Ukraine in Philadelphia. “I don’t have a proper word to describe it, but people are looking to victory.” “I was weeping with joy,” said the Ukrainian American activist. “Everyone I know had their spirits lifted. I feel much more upbeat than I have in a long time, like my whole physical being has changed.”
Now when Kalyna’s clock radio goes off in the morning, she’s eager to hear the news, not dreading it. It propels her into an already full schedule of activism.
