Washington, DC – Yaro Hetman says he wants the United States to do more for Ukraine, as Russia ramped up its attacks on the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, and advanced on the capital, Kyiv, on Tuesday.
Yetman, who moved from Ukraine to the US at the age of nine, has been leading protests in front of the White House since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine late last week. The military assault, now in its sixth day, has forced hundreds of thousands from their homes and spurred international condemnation and a slew of sanctions, including on Russia’s largest banks.
