Concerns growing among New York's Ukrainian community over tension with Russia
NEW YORK -- Members of New York City's Ukrainian community are paying close attention to what's happening back in their homeland.
Many at a popular Ukrainian restaurant in Coney Island are worried about the growing tension with Russia.
One woman told CBS2's she's concerned about her family's safety.
"I'm really worried because I have all my family live there. My mom and my sister live there, and I'm really afraid because I cannot take my sister here. I cannot take her here. I hope ... everything will be OK," Brooklyn resident Olga Aksonova said.
The state department is advising Americans not to travel to the Ukraine due to the increased threats of Russian military action.
