A father who was recently deported from Canada is appealing to the federal government for help after he and his family made the harrowing journey out of Ukraine.
Mina Makar described to CTV News Channel on Sunday afternoon the difficulties he, his wife and their three children experienced as they tried to flee Ukraine amid the country's ongoing war with Russia, now in its fourth day.He said he and his family got into a scary collision while attempting to escape Ukraine.
"But we made it to the Poland border," he said. "It was a difficult trip. It's impossible trip. There's more than 20,000 cars in the queue for almost 50 kilometres far from the border. It is impossible, nobody can make it."However, the family was deported back to Ukraine in January of this year after their case to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds wasn't approved.
