LOS ANGELES — With Russian helicopters roaring above, Ukrainian model and former Miss Ukraine Veronika Didusenko, along with her 7-year-old son, braved the horrors of war to escape the city of Kyiv, traveling through four other countries to reach safety, she said Tuesday alongside Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred.
Didusenko said there were “dozens of Russian helicopters” buzzing above their heads as they made their way out of the city. She said she opted to leave her son with friends in Geneva, Switzerland, while she made her trip to Los Angeles, but plans to return later this week. “Many of these mothers and children are leaving or have left and have no idea where they will be able to live with their children and if they will be able to return to their former home, their friends, their family, their coworkers,” Allred said.
