KENTUCKY — The United States will welcome nearly 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, and some could come to Kentucky.  During this In Focus Kentucky segment, reporter Erin Wilson shares how the Catholic Charities of Louisville is preparing for the chance to help the people of Ukraine.

Gov. Andy Beshear (D) also comments on the ongoing war in Ukraine and denounces the military forces Russian invasion.

He said there are a lot of Kentuckians that hail from Ukraine, and that Kentuckians are ready to stand together against Russia's attacks and atrocities.

"We are going to have to make some sacrifices to help these people and to stop that dictator. A lot of it is going to be economic, the price of gas even with everything we're going to do is going to go up, but the sanctions that we have put into place and are increasing are the toughest we believe in humankind and they are paralyzing. The Russian economy which we have to do more than that, we have to cripple. We have learned through history that it always takes sacrifice to stop a dictator. But if you don't stop them, they keep going. Our goal is we have to be tough enough. We've proven these last two years we can be to get through whatever temporary pain economically that, that we are seeing to stop Vladimir Putin right here right now. And listen, sacrifices this time is not our sons and daughters on the battlefield. So we can be grateful for that while at the same time being strong, though when we must stop Putin and this is the way to do it," explains Beshear.
