This is one woman’s story about leaving Ukraine.
We recorded this conversation on March 17th, 2022.
When we chatted, it had been 3 weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, starting a war that would, as of today 4 weeks after the invasion, displace 10 million people. This includes those moving within Ukraine to safer cities along with the woman and children who could cross borders and seek refuge in other countries. Anastasia is one of them. This is her story of leaving Ukraine.
Tangents Include:
- War in the 21st century
- Fleeing Ukraine vs. Staying
- Can’t find clarity of mind

- Life at the border
- Crossed the border, now what?
- Survivor’s guilt
- Support for refugees
