The chairman of the Sedgwick County Commission has a unique perspective on the situation in Ukraine. Commissioner David Dennis is a veteran. He says he spent three years in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. During the Board of County Commissioners meeting Wednesday, he asked the people of Sedgwick County to keep Ukraine in their prayers. “What is going on over in Ukraine right now is absolutely tragic,” he said. “They are some of the finest people that I have ever met.” KSN spoke to him after the meeting about his remarks. He said the conflict in Ukraine hits close to him and many Kansans. “Here in this state alone, we’ve got about 4,000 Ukrainians. We have about 1,000 here in Sedgwick County,” Dennis said. “They are people that have a very large love of their country just as the United States has a love of our country, and they’re fighting for their freedom right now against a despot.”
