Canadian soldier in the Ukrainian army: “We’re fighting for our children’s future”
“War seems so far away for North America that we think we’re untouchable. But we’re not,” says April Huggett, a Canadian who left behind a peaceful home, three children, and a beloved career more than two years ago to help Ukraine. After two years of volunteering, she signed a contract and joined the ranks of the Ukrainian army.
