Ex-Peace Corps leader reflects on Ukraine stint

PIKE—For a former Peace Corps country director in Ukraine, the recent Russian invasion hits close to home.
Doug Teschner, of Pike, was in Ukraine in 2014 when Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula on the Sea of Azov and annexed it into the Russian Federation. Teschner was there for the evacuation of Peace Corps volunteers. It was a bloodless takeover, but it foreshadowed today’s war.
