Ukrainians in the Bay Area are watching with worry as the Russian military enters their country.

Many are concerned about loved ones as an already deadly conflict over democracy appears to be escalating.

Obama to Russia: "There Will Be Costs" for Ukraine Intervention Nick Bilogorskiy is a Bay Area resident concerned with the developments in Ukraine. He said his father is in a politically divided city.

"Right now there is pressure in his city, whether to go with Russian or go with Ukraine," Bilogorskiy said. "There are people in the street, so I am concerned for his well being."

Another local, Lesya, who did not want her last name published, is worried Russia's move into Ukraine's Crimea region and President Barack Obama's strong words against it may signal the beginning of a large military response.

Lesya is hoping for a peaceful resolution.

"I have a lot of friends and family in Ukraine," she said. "If this breaks into military conflict it would be a much larger conflict than Ukrainians and Russians because larger forces would intervene."

Weather Sparks Crashes, Flooding, Rescues, Outages Bay Area Ukrainians have organized a group called MaydanSF. The group is raising money to assist the injured in Ukraine and are organizing rallies in the Bay Area to raise awareness.

I can hardly imagine some Russian soldier wanting to die in Ukraine but I sure can imagine a Ukrainian soldier wanting to kill a Russian soldier for Ukraine.

The Russians know that Obama has been purging our military leadership. They saw how that worked out for Stalin, and they don’t expect much different from Obama.

If you feel that strongly that you would get angry at the posters, perhaps should go to Ukraine and pick up a club and smash a Russian instead.
