I've never asked anyone for anything before, but now the time has come.
The situation is as follows: I've been living and working in Kyiv recently, but the job is seasonal, and I used to go to Crimea for the summer. Due to the well-known situation, Crimea is out of the question this year. Currently, I'm in the Donbas region, in Luhansk, and I think everyone is aware of what life is like there from the media. Almost every day, planes fly overhead, sirens wail, and there's bombing, and they promise a complete clearing of the area soon. I've already seen firsthand how accurately the National Guard can shoot; they can hit anything.
In short, my ex-wife has been nagging me to take the child out of here, and there are practically no women and children left here. All my explanations that this is just panic are not helping; women are women. She herself absolutely refuses to leave because she's not suited to life outside her home. But it turns out that there's nowhere to go; all my relatives live either in Luhansk itself or in nearby cities. There are some distant relatives in a village in the Chernihiv region, whom I've never even seen, but that's not an option.
The main problem is housing and work. We'll find money for the first time, but it's clear that no one will tolerate it for long, and we need to earn something. And that's a problem in an unfamiliar city. In Kyiv, I don't have much to do in the summer, it's expensive to live there, and it's difficult to find a job quickly; I can't just sell sunflower seeds at the market. I don't care myself; I can live in a shed, but that won't work with a 15-year-old daughter. In short, we need to figure out where to stay until the end of August, and then, if things don't work out, go to Kyiv, but I hope everything will work out sooner, because my daughter is applying to university this year.
In short, I'm reaching out to forum members from the South, South-East of Ukraine, or from nearby Russia, while the border is still open, so we can travel by train from the Kamyanets-Shakhtynsky station (it seems this is the Moscow-Rostov-Sochi route). If anyone has the opportunity to help, the most important thing is with work, because we won't have enough money for all the travel and other expenses for long, and with housing for the first time, I would be grateful.
You can contact me via ICQ or Skype: vatya0502. I will be grateful for any help.
