What was it like when you left Ukraine?
I felt afraid, I did not understand what would happen next and whether I would ever return home. The war started unexpectedly, no one knew how to behave and what to do. But now we are stronger and continue to believe in the victory of Ukraine, which will definitely happen!
What are your plans for the future?
In the future, I want to return to Ukraine, to develop it, to help it get back on its feet. I want to bring all the knowledge I gained in Slovakia to Ukraine and share it with people. I want our country to finally become free and start to grow and develop only upwards.
What do you miss most?
Most of all I miss my family, the family holidays we spent together, our fun times. I miss the future in Ukraine that I had planned for myself. I miss my friends, with whom I have many bright and unforgettable moments. I miss peaceful life and stability. I am sure that peace will come very soon and we will all be able to see each other again.
