I pray that the host family doesnt push Mormonism on this family. They are Orthodox Christians, and I am so afraid that this family only brought these refugees here in order to push Mormonism on them. I know how Mormons operate, I wish they would respect people and would stop preying on people who are fleeing war.

A lot of people don't try to run until it's too late. This couple was smart enough to realize that it was time to run, even though that meant giving up everything, including their home, cars, business, that they had worked so hard for. This takes a lot of courage and determination. I am glad for them, and I welcome this family to the United States.

Well, how about defending democracy from Putin's orcs in Ukraine? This Ukrainian men supposed to fight Putin at home, but nevertheless, he wants to get to the USA to live on my taxes, well, selling our weapons to Ukraine is totally fine, in fact, it's great, it helps our economy, but spending our resources for charity when our economy is not in the best shape is a bad idea. The US has invested a lot in Ukrainian democracy, a lot of my tax money, so it would only be fair to get some return on our investment, selling arms, exhausting Russia is the return we expect, but this dude, instead of repaying back by his heroic fight with Putin, he's trying to sneak into the US to live on my taxes!!?

@Martin Garcia until it’s too late is a perfect statement. Of course no one wants to leave in these circumstances BUT stay and potentially die or leave? That’s what too late is! They said a missile already was close to their home. What if the next one hits their home? What if they close down boarders like they did in Afghanistan? There are so many things that can go wrong if they were to stay! I feel like you didn’t really think about it before you commented!

When you ask for guidance you will be led to the right answers. I was contacted and given the opportunity to support a young Russian man, who fled from Russia to avoid being drafted into the army. I am a US expat living in a South American country. This war is impacting people in ways we cannot even comprehend, it will take World Citizens to support, encourage and to protest the atrocities of Putin and his regime.

@@ladyjade6446 you can google it. It is true. I’m LDS, do not live in the west and my house is quite large. It’s not large to be boastful. It’s large for a very somber, private reason. We paid for the house with no assistance from any family. Sometimes you have to plan for a future that you didn’t know that you would have. People in Utah generally have large families. They need somewhere to put them. So if this family can help someone out then go for it!

There are exceptions for fathers of 3 and more. There was chaos in Ukraine, maybe he could get out because of this. However, they are in the US and can start a new life here. There are more than 5 Million Ukrainians in Europe, not all of them live now so comfortable. And over 30 Millions are still in Ukraine, many in the war zone. Those are the people we should focus on.
