Olga Shevchenko owned a coffee shop in Ukraine’s second-largest city until a Russian airstrike destroyed it on March 1st.
On March 7, after a fighter jet knocked out her neighborhood’s power, Shevchenko, along with her mother, Elena, and friend Svetlana, decided to leave Kharkiv behind.
Shevchenko studied at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She later worked in Alexandria, Virginia, before returning to home to Ukraine.Olga's coffee shop was destroyed by Russian bombs. Svetlana, who asked that only her first name be used, thinks that even though Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion took her away from her home, his plan has backfired. Rather than split the country apart, she believes it has done just the opposite.
