A powerful plea wasn't enough for a family to get their loved ones to the U.S. Instead of fleeing, their family in Ukraine face the cruel reality of returning to the warzone.
LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- A powerful plea wasn't enough to help a Galveston County Marine get his family to the U.S. from Ukraine.
Speaking from Europe and Galveston County, the Weeks shared struggles of getting loved ones from Ukraine. "There are all my friends, all my family. There is my husband, and I need to leave my country, my home," Savchuk said."I thought there would be no problem," William Weeks said."At least getting into the embassy and trying to speak on their behalf."
Weeks plans to leave Friday. His in-laws will stay another week in Romania. After that, they'll return to Kyiv. A trip that brought the family together days ago now faces the reality they won't be leaving together.
