The University Post asked the University of Copenhagen how many students are in either Ukraine or Russia as a part of their degree programme right now.<\/p>\n
There are no students on exchange at universities in Ukraine, according to the University of Copenhagen\u2019s Education and Students unit. Two students are on exchange in Russia.<\/p>\n
\n
Thursday 24 February 2022 at 05.55 Moscow time, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced that a military operation would commence in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Since then, the operation has developed into a regular invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Civilian Ukrainians, and both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers, have been reported killed in the war, while thousands of Ukrainians are on the run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Two further students are on an internship in Saint Petersburg, while two are on a project-oriented course at the Danish Embassy in Moscow. The university is in regular contact with the students, it says.<\/p>\n
Ukraine has been in conflict with Russia for eight years, ever since the Russians annexed the Crimea peninsula, and Lara Osario\u2019s Ukrainian friends, have become accustomed to the constant worries, she says.<\/p>\n
\u00bbMy friends always took on a slightly sarcastic, joking tone, when the subject turned to Russia. I noticed that when the topic was brought up, there was always a second or two of silence before the topic was changed or the joking started. They had no particular concern this time round. The atmosphere was more that this was just a continuation of the present conflict,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
This is now history.<\/p>\n
Hiding in basements and metro stations<\/h3>\n
Lara Osario still has half of her belongings in her apartment in Kiev, because she was only supposed to move to Bucharest until the situation had settled down again.<\/p>\n
There is no prospect of the situation settling down however. She is in daily contact with her friends, all of whom are trying to protect themselves from the Russian attacks on Kiev.<\/p>\n
\u00bbNone of my friends thought this would happen just a short time ago. But then they were awakened by explosions. Most of them have either left Kiev, for example to summer cottages with their families, some stay in metro stations. And one of them has hidden in the basement where he has a music studio. There are still supermarkets open so people can get food and water,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
She hopes that she will come back to Kiev one day.<\/p>\n
\u00bbUkraine is a fantastic country with a fantastic people, so I would like to return at some point and revisit the people I have met. You can only hope,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n
Until then, Lara Osario is offering the hospitality of her apartment in the Romanian capital to those of her friends who were forced to flee Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThat’s the only thing you can do right now.\u00ab
