2 months since the invasion in Ukraine - refugee update

in Threespeak2 years ago

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


It has been just over 2 months since the invasion started. Life isn't getting better for either those still inside Ukraine or those who have gotten out and sought refuge in the neighboring countries. Normal does not exist anymore. The future is very scary. The fear of the unknown is very loud. Here in this video, I share some recent news about some personal losses, about the life here as a refugee, things some of us are facing mentally, about the things we have received, and also about how I am feeling two months after the invasion. Excuse me for how rough and unpolished my thoughts are, but it is difficult to talk about almost anything when your mind is not in the right place. Writing is much easier because I can my time and proof read everything 10 times, but on video, which feels more intimate and personal, it is very difficult to express my thoughts. I have been pushing myself to make a video for a very long time. But I could not bring myself to do it until now and it still took me a few tries to make a whole video. I must say that I am very thankful for all the people around the world who are helping the refugees and the people still in Ukraine in any way they can. I realize that people can get "used" to the war and slowly lose interest in helping those who are in need. And even then we all will be thankful for all that they have done for us. Most of my friends are scattered all around Europe. Some of my colleagues are in the western part of Ukraine, I have since made new friends with my fellow refugees. Everyday is yet another struggle. Everyday someone is losing contact with someone else or simply losing someone forever. Moreover, it is very difficult to start over. The recent attacks show that Russia has no interest in peace and it makes our futures evern more uncertain and scary.

Держись. Everything will be better than you imagine :)

I hope we all can share the same attitude!

It's always good to hear from you. My heart breaks for you when I think of losses you are dealing with.
Do go get your knee looked at, some of the pain in life is relatively easy to repair.

Thank you @melinda010100. Yes, I will get it checked out sooner or later.

I'm sorry to hear about your friends and keep my fingers crossed for you to get everything arranged.

Thank you. Fingers crossed, too.

Stay strong brother!

Will do! Thank you!

And what about moving to Ireland and be a doctor there? At least language would not be a problem. Is there any possibility? Good luck with everything!

I am looking into it. There is some confusion regarding going to a different country after registering under temporary protection in another country. Also, to go there I have to by ferry or flight, both of which have contradicting information for non-Ukrainians. I will push through over here and try to find some way.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends. I hope things turn around for you and you get more settled. ❤
