Leaving everything behind and arriving in a foreign country is a bewildering experience and your guests will have witnessed deeply traumatic events.

Your guests’ primary language will likely be Ukrainian, but they are also likely to be familiar, if not fluent in Russian. The Ukrainian and Russian languages use the Cyrillic alphabet so your guests will need to get to grips with the Roman alphabet, which may be unfamiliar to them.
