“These events of aggression are terribly sad and unfortunate for innocent Ukrainian families that are just trying to lead their lives,' said Honorary Consul of Ukraine Jonathan Freedman.
Daniel Gibbons, a former Holladay Justice Court judge and practicing attorney, taught law students in Ukraine yearly for more than a decade between 2006 to 2017. He also served as a Latter-day Saint mission president in Russia from 2011 to 2014.
He said that he also heard from eastern Ukrainians who supported the idea of absorbing the Russian-speaking parts of their country into the Russian Federation. But he noted how different his conversations were with those he’s spoken in Russia and Ukraine. Leavitt and his wife, Chelom, founded the group that brought Gibbons to Ukraine to teach, and Leavitt also spent more than a decade there teaching law students.
He said he was eating chicken soup with a woman and her son in their apartment three weeks ago who are “now in the long traffic jam trying to get out of Kyiv to get to Poland.” Thursday was also a somber day for Leavitt, who said his time in Ukraine influenced his legal career. His students’ confusion over American plea deals made him realize the shortcomings of the U.S. criminal justice system. He is now outspoken about wanting reform.
