Minnesota native in Ukraine is helping refugees find housing and transportation in Romania

Bechtold moved to Ukraine in August 2021 to teach English and left Kyiv a couple of weeks ago at the urging of the American Embassy. He has since returned to the area, providing transportation to refugees in his rental car and helping secure bus and train tickets for his students and their families who are still in Ukraine.
