New arrivals from Ukraine to branch out across Sask.
A third flight scheduled to arrive in Regina bringing more newcomers from Ukraine has the Ukrainian Canadian Congress preparing for the new arrivals and reflecting on those who have been welcomed so far.
For UCC executive director Danylo Puderak, it’s exciting to be bringing another 200 displaced Ukrainians to Saskatchewan for refuge. But that feeling is also tinged with dismay.
“It’s sad that it’s still necessary to be doing this,” Puderak said.
Those who arrived on the previous two chartered flights from Ukraine to Saskatchewan have been grateful for the warm welcomes they’ve received on arrival.
