Hello everybody,

The COVID-19 crisis inevitably impacts Ukraine, between closed airports or periods of containment in some cities or even the entire country .
We would like to hear from you during this unusual period, to find out what the consequences of this pandemic are on your expatriation or expatriation project in Ukraine.

Does the current crisis call into question your long-term expatriation project?
If you are already settled in Ukraine, do you plan to return to your home country?

How are you living through such an uncertain period, especially if you are far from your loved ones?

Have any of you ended your expatriation in Ukraine unexpectedly?

Paradoxically, has this crisis brought you closer to some people?

What are your plans for the future?

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hope you are doing well.

Loïc.

I chose to stay. I have family here, online work from home, and think largely speaking the average  Ukrainian villager has a more independent lifestyle and greater flexibility to deal with anything the coronavirus can throw at them compared to most Americans living paycheck to paycheck, mortgaged to the hilt, and don’t even get me started on the politics and law enforcement.

My long term plans haven’t changed. Actually doing better under this situation, horrible as it is for the world.

I have made a return back to Australia due to business and work protocol. However my Fiance and family are still in Kyiv.  this makes things very difficult obviously but we take it in our stride to push on and do the right thing by bunkering down and keeping safe.
Unsafe times and as for business its a killer for me as I do international trading.

But I have made sure that we keep family safe and stocked with what is necessary and I wish everyone else health and safety throughout this shitty ordeal

I have made my home here in the Ukraine, I have a wife and adopted daughter, so this is where my hat is and this is where i am, and unfortunately i am unable to take my wife to the UK without very long winded political paperwork, and theirs no way i would  leave them on there own. Life for us is ok, can still get toilet rolls ???? and things are quiet but normal. I have a few students learning English, and know its in Skype and not in person so all good, Keep safe/
