It’s the true story of how Jez and I fled #Kyiv as #Russia’s full-scale invasion began — told through our own photos, videos and memories, with plenty of dark humour and absurd moments along the way.

One of the questions I get asked most often in radio & TV interviews these days is whether #Ukraine should hold presidential elections before the war is over.
Waking up at 4:30am is made much better by getting to cuddle these three alpacas. 🦙🦙🦙
Sure, that @BBCRadioManc interview I did at 7:20am was great, but HAVE YOU SEEN THESE CUTIES??!!!
You can ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶l̶p̶a̶c̶a̶s̶ ̶ listen back to me talking about @andyburnham and #Ukraine via this link: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/b…
I was on at approximately 7:20am
4 years ago. #Manchester continues to stand with #Ukraine. And the UK stands with Ukraine as was shown by former GM Mayor and current Prime Minister @andyburnham’s visit to #Kyiv today.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!

One day I will think about #Ukraine and my mind won’t automatically spring to danger and war.
I will think about home and what it means to me.
1/5
It’s a painful realisation. Even more painful is thinking about the destruction of so much that I love over the last 11 and a half years.
I want to think about #Ukraine simply as my home, but instead I’ve had to learn to carry that sense of home inside me.
4/5
I’ve spent a third of my life with my country at war.
35 years of independence from Russia, and we still have to fight for it.
5/5
