How Maryna Teplova’s family fled from Ukraine
Maria and her daughter Afrodita, once they made it safely to the Netherlands. Maryna Teplova
Maryna Teplova joins us again on the 21st. This time, she's joined by her daughter, Maria, who had to flee from Ukraine with a daughter of her own, Afrodita. We'll ask her about their journey from Ukraine, to Poland, to the Netherlands, and then to the United States.
We'll talk about how the culture shock has been for her, and if she's found support through Ukrainian communities in America. With Maryna, we'll discuss recent Russian air attacks in her hometown, how Ukraine has been losing ground in the war, and her hopes about where things will go.
