Bruce Kaster talking with Inna Germaneau.

Bruce Kaster, an Ocala lawyer, recently visited Odessa and witnessed first-hand the desperate situation for the people who live there. “Many of us have wondered how we might do something worthwhile to help the suffering Ukrainian people under attack by Russia.” Mr. Kaster said.

He flew to Moldova, crossed the border, and traveled to Odessa, which sits on the Black Sea in the southern part of Ukraine.

Kaster met up with Inna Germaneau, a Ukrainian living in Germany. Along with Igor Fedin, they run the ‘Your City’ pharmacy with three volunteers in Odessa.

Local attorney Bruce Kaster knows the 1,000-mile stare when he sees it.

Kaster served in combat in the Vietnam War, where he saw the “1,000-mile stare”—an expression to describe a lifeless and hopeless blank expression—on the faces of war victims.
He said he saw the same blank look on the faces of war victims and refugees when he visited the war-torn Ukraine in May of this year.
