ALEXANDRIA, Minn. — The war in Ukraine may seem half-a-world away, but for some in Minnesota right now, it is very personal. It is their home. Dasha Shyroka is one of those people. The chemistry and nursing double major at Gustavus Adolphus is watching the latest developments in the war with Russia with special concern.
