(NewsNation) — More than 4.1 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded in late February, most to neighboring countries such as Poland and Romania, Some, however, are coming to the U.S — and the Ukrainian refugees are being joined in the search for asylum by Russians fleeing their regime.

For months, thousands of Ukrainians and Russians have ben arriving in Mexico on tourist visas, but the goal of most is to come into the neighboring U.S. Officials are now seeing more Ukrainians doing just that.

Along the U.S. port of entry in San Ysidro sits a welcome wagon greeting war refugees from Ukraine. It’s staffed by a Ukrainian named “Roma.”

Roma fled Kyiv just two weeks ago. She was just granted humanitarian parole in the U.S.

“It’s the best emotion in my life because I have the opportunity … the beginning,” Roma said. “I’m a doctor and my hospital is destroyed in Kyiv, also my home is destroyed. I have no flat, I have no hospital … but I have an opportunity to flee for the U.S. and I am so grateful for this.”

A collection of volunteers from multiple organizations wait at the welcome wagon to encourage others. One group of Ukrainians had to leave quickly in order to catch a flight north to their church hosts awaiting their arrival in Sacramento.

Ukrainians and Russians critical of Putin’s war on Ukraine are seeking asylum in the USA.

LOS ANGELES (NewsNation Now) — A four-day workweek seems like a dream for some Americans, but a new proposal in congress may make that reality.

The possibility is there and the mindset is changing fast — even without legislation, a four-day week is already normal for a lot of American workers, and many employers are touting the results with no drop and even improvements in productivity.

The four-day workweek push has been gaining steam since the pandemic upended how, where, and where many Americans do their jobs.

The proposed legislation introduced this week by California Congressman Mark Takano seeks to reduce the national standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours. He cites known benefits for both employees and employers.

NewsNation reported Friday that a bill by Rep. Mark Takano (D) could reduce the national standard workweek from the current 40 hrs/week (8x5) model to the 32 hrs/week (8x4) model.

(AP) — One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has seen death, economic hardship and anxiety on an unprecedented scale. But it has also witnessed self-sacrifice, courage and perseverance.

In India, Brazil, South Africa and other places around the globe, people are helping others and reinventing themselves.

“I’ve been adaptable, like water,” said a woman whose dream of becoming a U.S. boxing champion was dealt a blow by the crisis, though not necessarily a knockout punch.

Their voices and images can inspire, even though the future is as uncertain for them as it is for everyone else.
