Yuliia “Julia” Shpak and her husband, Vitale, were refugees of the war between Ukraine and Russia, a little over two years ago. They were able to relocate, along with their dog, to the United States through a website that provided them with a host family here in Union Springs. The Duvic family, Philip and Arnette, took them in and allowed them to stay in their guest house for as long as they needed.
