After fleeing Kyiv, Anton and Alla were faced with an impossible decision – to leave their country or stay. Pete accompanied Alla and Liza to Poland, however Anton stayed in Ukraine. Alla applied to the new U.S. relocation program for Ukrainian refugees and she and Liza are now living safely with their friend Pete.
