Daily News | Local Ukrainians take action as “nightmare” unfolds
Iryna Mazur may have been among the first in the Philadelphia region to realize on Wednesday night that her Ukrainian homeland was minutes from falling under Russian attack.
Some 5,245 Ukrainian immigrants make their homes in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburban and South Jersey counties, as do 54,324 people of Ukrainian ancestry. Sichkar, born in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, said the congregation is focusing on determining how to help what’s expected to be a flood of refugees moving out of Ukraine and into surrounding countries.
As many as 250,000 more Ukrainians arrived in the early 1900s, helping create the new, industrial world through jobs at steel, glass, and rail manufacturers in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Detroit.
