Why I Stand With Ukraine?
I was born in Ukraine and in 2022 moved to Australia because of the russian invasion. My story is about survival, resilience, and rebuilding life while never forgetting my roots. Read my reflections and experiences on Medium.

City Aims To Help “Healing” During Refugee Week
I was featured in the City of Greater Geelong’s Refugee Week 2022 (theme: Healing). As a newly arrived Ukrainian, I shared my story while the City reaffirmed its Refugee Welcome Zone status and launched an animated film to support refugee youth with local partners. Grateful for the community that helped me settle.
