how was that for you? oh, i try to not cry. they love you very much. me too. what are you thinking? it s not fair. it s so unfair that i should be here. reporter: this is what war does to a happy 17-year-old. but she is determined to stay optimistic. this is a photo she wanted us to show. her parents sent it to her right
so it makes it tough to sit there and see all the stuff going on. reporter: steelworkers daniel durant, rick lucero, and chuck perco are afraid of what might happen if abramovich is sanctioned by the u.s. it s just the uncertainty is scary. it s real scary. uncertainty for your jobs? for the jobs, yeah. i disdain what s going on over there, but my company is not abramovich s company in my eyes. reporter: david ferryman is senior vice president of evraz north america. do you consider this a russian-owned company? i don t. we re headquartered, independent operation, in chicago. we have our own ceo. we have our own board of directors. we re based in london. yes, the parent company has a large footprint in russia. reporter: that footprint includes a massive russian business. evraz 2021 report shows revenue of $14 billion and that 16% of
