Man in Kiev supports efforts of Ukraine people; Taras Nykoriak has family in Chicago, spoke to ABC7 Eyewitness News via Skype

March 2, 2014 (CHICAGO)

Taras Nykoriak says while he is worried he fully supports the efforts of the Ukrainian people.

"I am excited that the Ukrainian people aren't going to deal with corruption anymore," he said. "The Ukrainian people will not tolerate their low pay."

Taras says he doesn't plan on leaving Ukraine anytime soon.

But if the situation gets worse the United States Embassy will fly him and about 200 other Americans out in a military jet.
