A Ukrainian Love Story | Over The Rainbow by Tarra Layne

When President Zelenskyy encouraged musicians to tell their story at this year’s GRAMMY Awards®, I did just that.

“A Ukrainian Love Story’ was created for and about my husband who is a Legal Permanent Resident of the US and currently not able to leave Ukraine.

Please help…

CALL TO ACTION:

WE NEED YOU TO SHARE ‘A Ukrainian Love Story.’ Reach out to and tag your state representatives urging them to issue a request of Ukraine to make it easier for LPRs to leave if they choose to do so. Help us spread awareness of male LPRs from all over the world in Andrii’s situation.

Please help bring him home. For more information, visit bit.ly/UkrainianLoveStory

BACKGROUND:

My husband, Andrii, was visiting family in Ukraine when Russia invaded. The country’s Martial Law holds Ukrainian males ages 18-60 from leaving the country for mobilization purposes. Andrii is a Ukrainian citizen - and always will be. He loves his country.

Since we are married, he is a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) of the United States who lives, works, and pays taxes here in America. All LPRs have been granted exclusion from Ukrainian Martial Law and the Mobilization Act, but the government's protocol granting them the option to leave Ukraine is very complicated, let alone impossible to complete. Because of this, he is still prevented from crossing the border.
