The four University of Leicester students left Ukraine as the result of a twinning agreement
Four Ukrainian students who fled their country to continue their studies in the UK have said they are still getting used to the feeling of being safe.
The University of Leicester made the agreement with Kremenchuk Mykhailo Otrohradskyi National University."One of the differences that struck me was that at night, all the lights are on in [Leicester], whereas in Kremenchuk there are blackouts because of the rocket attacks," said 19-year-old Oleksandra Korshunova."I am still trying to get used to it, and I am scared of getting used to this, because I want to go back home.
Karyna Rudaia, 20, added: "I've seen lots of Ukrainian flags across the city, which is cool, it makes me feel at home, it makes me feel supported."The city has been devastated by heavy missile and drone bombardments targeting its power generation facilities.
