Fear and a few thoughts haunt me every day | The fear of living in Ukraine as a foreigner - Life Talk
HEY FAM, HOPE YOU ARE DOING GREAT...
I was hesitating a lot before talking about this topic or about the fear or stress currently I am having now. I was not so sure whether it is okay to talk about such crucial things in front of the camera especially people like me. Many of you might already be aware of the political situation of Ukraine and Russia and the entire situation here is kind of scary. I am not here to judge or explain what is right or wrong because I am no one to give/leave any opinion as a foreigner.
Yes, I am a foreigner who migrated to this country for a better life. I have taken my master's degree from the University of Kharkiv and decided to live here for a while. Let me tell you one thing, migration is not so easy and when people say that Ukraine is not a safe country to live in, a foreigner easily gets scared. Unfortunately for the last couple of weeks, it's been hard to live in confusion and in fear about the future of this city where I live in. On the other hand, when people explain the reality and political issues of both countries, the situation gets complicated for a foreigner. I only can imagine how local people feel, after talking to some people, it seems they were ready for this moment for a long time.
I have been listening to many news and information for the past couple of weeks and now everything seems confusing to me as I can't decide what to do next. The covid pandemic situation was a complex time for me and now this thing made me scared. Living in thought like you have to leave your home at any minute is kind of pressure and scary because I am not the kind of person who can adapt to sudden changes. I don't like drastic changes in life. But as people say, you have to be always prepared for the worst.
So, what's next? I don't know yet. Where to go if the situation becomes like you have to leave the city in fact the country? I guess you have already an idea of what happens to a state when it becomes autonomous. I only see that my future is uncertain as a foreigner. It's really hard to live in fear and uncertainty every day. I just really hope tomorrow is not the day that I am fearful for.
Do I think about being homeless? Absolutely; when a city becomes autonomous, you have to choose where you wanna be, either you stay or leave. If you leave, you may become homeless or a refugee in another country...

Praying for the people in Ukraine right now. Take heart that the people around you have been preparing themselves for a time like this.
Yes, even many told me to brace myself for the day, it feels like judgment day. Especially when I see the news about the border, it gives me stress but it is something I can't ignore quite easily. But I must admit, the locals are dealing more shit than me because they have nowhere to go.
Thank you for your support and prayer...
I think ukraine is a safe country, and i watch a lot of your videos on youtube and have subscribed to your channel, i see you in the video very happy. 🙂
I also thought that but situation changed a lot and due to political and geological territory issues, things might get worst.
I try to be happy, I can't show my unhappy, sad and stressful face you know. Among all the issues, I try to make myself feel good...
Politics may have become a tradition of every country. Hmm that's a good way to entertain myself but I enjoyed your video and some of your journeys in the vlog. 😌
I agree and currently more or less, every country is dealing with this. Ukraine has some geological and territorial issues with Russia and Putin doesn't want that Ukraine joins NATO. After all, everybody wants to secure their territory ....
Thank you...
It is quite scary. First the stress from a pandemic then the thought of becoming a refugee and upsetting all your plans. I hear about the situation on the news there all the time. Hope 2022 can see a more peaceful year!
Nobody wants war and every politician sees their own profit and benefits. You know what I mean and to be honest, Russia uses/sees Ukraine as a buffer and if Ukraine joins Nato, there will be definitely war...
