“The English are so kind because they try to think about how we feel,” he said. “They try to think about how you feel when you have nothing and when these disasters happen to you in your country.” He urged other Britons to see if they could help: “It could be very nice to have a Ukrainian in your family because we are for the most part quite open and very good people.” However, Vika warned that older generations of Ukrainians may not be able to communicate in English as well as those in their 20s and 30s, adding that there may be differences in traditions and cultures. Ms. Prenti brought Vika to the United Kingdom on a visitor visa and wants to enroll her in the Ukrainian Family Settlement Program when it is operational. Vika said her plans were to work in the United Kingdom and donate her profits to support Ukraine’s efforts to repel Russian invaders.
“I am more proud now that I am Ukrainian than ever”
Above all, Vika said her goal is to return to Ukraine as soon as it is safe to do so and return to her old life in Kyiv, which she would appreciate more than ever. He said: “As soon as possible, I would very much like to return. Now I’m really even more proud to be Ukrainian than ever. “Living in Kyiv now would be much more amazing than it was before because I appreciate it more.” Drowning in her tears, Vika added: “When you took a regular walk in Kyiv before, it was like a normal walk. Now I would probably be so excited and so happy to walk there, just to walk there without bombing and no explosions. “I would appreciate it much more. “And I’m so proud of my nation – it ‘s unbelievable.” Listen to Christopher Hope interview with Victoria Prentis and Vika on Chopper’s Politics, The Telegraph’s weekly political podcast, using the audio player at the top of this article or on the Apple Podcast, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app.
