Saskatoon couple worries Ukraine will never be free from Russia’s grip
Ever since Maria Melenchuk and her husband Roman Pavlov moved to Saskatoon in 2010, they've been intensely following the news coming from their homeland.
But lately, Maria has been trying to avoid it.
“I don't read news anymore,” she said, “because I'm so worried… if I continue to read news, I can't eat, I can't study, I can't sleep, and so on.”
The same is not true of her husband, who has been watching the news out of Crimea ahead of their hastily-staged referendum.
