Ukraine refugee: I had to share a bed with stranger

- About 13,500 refugees have fled Ukraine for London since the Russian invasion began, according to UK government figures.
More than eight months since the war started, some sponsors are no longer able to support those in need, which has put some refugees at risk of homelessness. Olena, from south-east Ukraine, was housed by a sponsor in a hotel, but when the sponsor could no longer afford to continue, she was referred to Hounslow Council for emergency accommodation.
She was placed in a private flat, rented by the council, but was forced to share a bed with someone she did not know and the flat had multiple issues, including mould, damp and even an exposed hole in the wall.
Since we filmed with Olena last week, Hounslow Council says it has rehomed her. Councillor Sue Sampson, cabinet member for housing management and homelessness, said: “We were extremely concerned to hear about the living conditions and, after carrying out an unannounced inspection, immediately moved Olena to different accommodation.
"We will be working with an interpreter to help us talk to Olena about her longer-term housing. We know this has been very frustrating and we are sorry for any distress caused."

My girlfriend took in three Ukrainian réfugiés in a flat in Switzerland one year ago with full amenities and comforts and was very generous with them helping to get their child into a special class at school and helping them financially but they have behaved very dishonestly and cheated a man taking his money then cutting all contact with him from one day to the next running off with another. They have been dishonest opportunistic and deceptive.
This is what the media should and government should also lock down on!
Not surprised. Ukrainian sugarbabies doing what they are best at.

Lol it's okay it's the shared white european identity remember? They're not Syrians so it's okay
@@zxera9702it's at least cheaper to repatriate Ukrainians, I guess? 😂
Well what did she expect ? Buckingham Palace? Welcome to the land of milk and honey now you see the reality.
Exactly, seen some many families suffering more than this and no they may not have escaped a war zone but have had their own fair share of trauma, have they ever visited a woman’s refuge? 4 families stuck in one bloody room ! This has angered me so !
@@firefly88887 it is sad that British people are ok with such living condition but we Eastern Europeans are not get used to such poverty. We had communism here and thanks to communism everybody had standard living conditions. Why such rich country let UK people live like that? I am in Prag and this kind of home would be here for demolition. I hope it will not be same here like in UK. In UK is lot of money why your goverment not built new homes?
considering how much the west use propaganda to convince the east how rich everyone there is, yes she literally will have expected a palace thats what everyone in eastern europe thinks the uk is like
@@katarinaroufka5342 the home she required would have been rented from a private landlord that probably hasn't been kept well. But back to your point about the UK living standards. Your comment baffles me because I'm sure your talking from your self experience in the UK?.I very doubt that many people from the European Union are worried because the UK have thousands up on thousands of people from the EU working and living here that's great. But many live in a house with 10 other people to share the rent. The houses before they moved in was in perfect condition and you need to see the state of it when they move out. The house the lady in the documentary was living in was more than likely rented by polish , Latvians, Romanians etc before her.
Did you charge the person , for allowing them to sleep with you !!!!
when Ukrainians were crossing Slovakia (we share a border with UA) they were offered accommodation in Slovakia. There is no shortage of housing in Slovakia and accommodation is decent, in most cases better than here in the UK due to very, VERY strict regulations in Slovakia and also Slovakia is a lot drier place so we don't really have to deal with damp and mould which is a big issue in UK houses so Slovakia offered them accommodation but Ukrainians were saying that their destination is Germany and UK. I don't know why are they complaining now? Just because a country is rich doesn't mean she will have an easy life doing nothing.
My first accommodation in the UK (North London at that time) wasn't great but that was all I could afford and I had to build my way up. I didn't want to live like that but I wanted to stay in the UK because I like it here so I had to do something to live a decent life here. Why is she complaining about something she was given for free instead of working to get better accommodation? If UK is so bad maybe she can go back to Ukraine if she thinks she will be better off there? I think that many of these refugees didn't expect that they will have to work at some point. Nothing's free forever
My home town in close to Ukrainian border, 8% of population are Western Ukrainians, what I never liked about them is the attitude of being entitled to something...
Because benefits
The country is very rich.However,as we both know only a small percentage of the people are rich.
Easy. They want benefits from UK and Germany. What can you get from Slovakia?
I agree everything apart from the damp in UK, UK has had all of UK lifespan to deal with its own conditions, yet still UK is incapable 😢
if slovakia is so good how come all ur gypsies come to uk and dont want to go back
This happens every day to UK residents.people with children who live in worst conditions and have done for years.🤷🏻♀️
But apparently Ukraine refugees need vip treatment according to media and government
That's true!

But how is that the fault of people who have been allowed by the UK government to seek refuge in the UK to flee from a war?
You can't blame people for wanting better conditions, when they aren't breathing clean air and sleeping in the same bed as strangers, when they also just escaped their own homes in order to have basic rights and freedom.
Just because you as a citizen are not being treated fairly by your own government, it doesn't mean that others that have been taken on by your government can't ask for better conditions.
Its two seperate issues that people are mixing up in this comment section. I have never seen anyone make it more about them? The British Government should provide better for its citizens in general. But it should also provide proper housing for the people that are coming from war, IF they do decide to take people in that are seeking refuge from an attack by an oppressive and much more powerful country.
If anything you as citizens should come together and demand better conditions for yourselves as britsh citizens rather than criticizing people that point out the discrepency between The UK being one of the most powerful, rich and influencial nations on the planet, especially, now after Brexit, that most Brits wanted in the first place. Where is the tax relief you all were promised? Where is the abundance for all the sacrfices you have made to unite the The UK? Where did all your efforts go?
Its really disgraceful to criticize people who have fled for their life.
This is England we live in this condition every day. Be grateful, it’s still a root above your head and don’t worry soon you can go home.
You guys don't know Ukrainians)))
so many tenants are asking the council to deal with mould and substandard accommodation. this has sadly been an issue here in UK for at least the last 60 years. :(

It’s unbelievable!
Wow! She sounds exactly like my mum. Welcome to Britain, sweetie. The grass isn't always greener.
Our veterans are living on the streets’ how’s that !!!
Ukraine is a vast country and not all affected by the war. She could have moved temporarily to the West of Ukraine, as many did. In addition, lots of neighbouring countries are safe, why did she not stop in one of them. where everything is given to them for free. Typical ungrateful people
because the west keep brainwashing the east into thinking everyone in the west lives in palaces. i moved from uk to the east and living conditions are considerably better.
Those are milions of peaple and land can take only so much. Lvów is full even Poland dont have enoug housing enymore, she have a right to dignity!!
@@IzabellaRequiem Ukraine is 50 times bigger than the UK
Most of Ukrainian refugees are economical refugees. A lot of them come from places like western Ukraine which is unharmed by the war. My cleaner's kids came over to UK from Lviv, claimed immediate help money, applied for benefits and went back to Ukraine. Now they've gone to Holland where they have claimed protected status again, and decided to stay there because the benefits system is better there.... And this is a true story.

I feel for her. What a terrible living condition! But shouldn't the council care for the British tax payers first? I also read that there are so many British families struggling and with the cost of living crisis. It's a noble thing to help strangers from other countries. But is it not a common sense to look after own people first?

That’s pretty good by london standards
Indeed it is , I was 3rd generation with my son 4th generation, had my name on a council list for over 30 years without one offer of accommodation- lived swished with my grandparents for 3 years until they died , wouldn’t let me take the tenancy over - moved in with my auntie in a one bedroom flat on the St Paul’s Estate off Essex Road and had to leave there when she past away after 5 years Again couldn’t take over the tenancy- why? The council said I needed a two bed and not any available, had to live in my car for 4 weeks trying to keep my job and child’s school, threatening to involve Social Services if I didn’t take a house outside London- I didn’t have the deposit to get a private let - would jump at anywhere that had been offered ! Don’t people realise how other U.K. residents have had to struggle without support from anyone? This sort of of report then ends up causing deep resentment! I never did get to stay in the area I was born and raised in and never ever was afforded a council house , my child and I having moved 8 times in 10 years due to Landlords selling off their ex council properties in Islington when they changed it from shithole to trendy and they obviously didn’t want any single parents living there - rents went up so much only the well off could afford to buy or rent there ! I was 16 years old trying to navigate this without support, been told I should have simply refused to leave after nana died but intimidated and bullied! Where was my advocate, where are the advocates for all the young families like me ? Yeah nowhere !
Including the mold?
in ukraine sleeping with strangers is a normal job
Just be grateful we have brought you to safety!!!
Show in the ass such help! She should have go to Poland we would never threat someone like that.
This peaople do not have any choice she left her home.

No no no Busking. You got it all wrong- you damn gingers need to accommodate all of these poor Ukrainians and give them a proper housing otherwise how can YOU people allow yourself to criticize Israel from there up in the relaxed regions of Northern Europe. It's not enough- you have to let them all in.
This is western Ukrainians we are talking about. You'd be lucky not to wake up missing a kidney.

Seriously? There are people in Mumbai, living 4 people in one room, working 10 hours of hard labour a day and she thinks these living conditions are bad. Living in such a room with 2 people would be a dream for the hard working labours of Mumbai. I mean, cmon dude, be grateful for what you have. When I started my first job, I too lived with stranger on my bed. Mind you, my job was that of an engineer and the pay wasn't that great. So despite working 10 hours everyday, and I was able to afford a room shared by 2 people
Facts are facts, irrespective of how people may or may not be living in Mumbai, or your own previous experiences.
@@tarmactracker Lol, the fact is she has a better room despite being shared than most people in Mumbai who work 10 hours a day. She better be grateful that she doesn't have to work and doesn't have to pay rent instead of complaining.
Stop letting everyone into this country when we have no housing to house people, overstretched services , cannot get to see a GP, cannot get kids into schools, people homeless living on the street, no police to actually police our crime ridden streets. We need to sort these problems out first before we invite anyone here. Stop calling all migrants asylum seekers when some are just economic migrants coming here to bleed our soft benefits system dry
it is not a race to the bottom dude . may be maharastra govt should build public housing instead
@@VARMOT123 Only if mumbai had that much space to accommodate the build anything new.
I suppose she had at least some free time. What's the problem for her to paint the walls of this room herself.....??
What a war they’re complaining that they’re sleeping with a stranger, and they have a roof on top of their head what kind of war is this look at the other wars kids are sleeping on the streets. We should ignore them let them suffer a bit
Only 10% of Ukraine is war zones. They did not need to travel 5,000 miles to UK to be safe. It’s a know thing most of them are using the war as an excuse to move to UK thinking the tax payer will give them everything for free. The truth is gradually coming out.
London maybe too expensive, other remote areas can be considered as well!
But they prefer to live in London. This is a problem. many of them left our area in hope to rent room in London and find a job with higher than £9.50/h.
Keep them in London.
@@grus599London is only for the rich so they are foolish if they think they will get a flat easily.

Where is the equality now? While ukranian men can't even draw back from war the Natasha's are fleeing and gold digging men . Why only women are saved why not men . Women should also go to wars . But yes feminism only says that women should practice equality as long as it favours them . These women are all sl 0 ts .
Hahha
This is also an issue for someone who pays rent in London! Conditions of house shares are dreadful and over priced! Sort it out government!
British white men remain homeless on the street, this World isn't fair.
Let's put this in perspective, the war started in February, this report was submitted 4 days ago. Let's imagine that 1 month ago this report was filmed. The Lady is a single, healthy, young woman. Why the hell in 8 months that woman did not get a job?. Ha no poor she can't because she is busy living free in 2 different places. Because she so poor in Ukraine she cant paid the ticket to the UK. Later, and one sponsor Pay and bring her but for sure when they saw that she did not come with the intention of working they say goodbye look for your place. because it is an aid not a support. Everyone who emigrates knows that he has to work at whatever it is because he's just arrived but she doesn't seem to speak English. Even so, she will not know how to look for a job, but she did know how to ask for a place to live in the municipality, she did not go to sleep under a bridge. And she still complains because there was a hole in one wall and she had to sleep in the same bed with another woman?. WOOOOOO poor little one. Why the hell didn't you go out looking for a job? Why didn't you cover the hole with something? Why didn't you clean up a bit since you live there for free without working, supported by taxpayers' taxes? It was easier to complain and complain and denounce.but not go looking for a job to earn money and find a place for yourself..But why do these newcomers do these things? Because see what the Municipality do, They running and give her a 5-star place for herself and prepare to give her own apartment that will not cost her a single Euro, And apologize because she has suffered the stress of living there.Poor abused princess Hoooo I die of pity for her royal highness.Only God knows where she lived in Ukraine.I don't think he was upper class or middle class in the Ukraine because he would possibly have spoken English and had enough money to travel single-handedly to the UK. Surely in Ukraine she has slept in worse places than that. But NOOOO now her royal highness felt stressed because she was sleeping in a room with someone else and there was a hole in the wall and some mold in one corner. oh what a tragedy. But no any more the princess now has her apartment, and out of all this stressful moments, his royal highness finally think about how going to focus on getting a job. POOR UK TAXPAYERS. that is why the country is the way it is because there is a use and an abuse with the poor citizens of that country.
These people are so ungrateful !
You have had the opportunity to get out of a war zone ! Have a safe place to stay and you still moan ? Why didn’t you stay in the closest safe country ? Poland ? Hungary? Romania ?
Hahahahaha, the council ignored your calls? You can now consider yourself fully integrated into British society 🤣
What a ungrateful bunch ! Don’t like it! Your free to go back home love😂
……. I would happy to be alive out of war zone with help from foreign countries with Free accommodation and free hot foods . Even their own president going basically nothing to their own people 😢
So glad to hear you would be happy. However, I hate to disappoint you about their own president. He and his country are doing everything that can be done in the circumstances, with the help of numerous other nations to do the best anyone could do in such circumstances as Ukraine has been put in by an illegal war launched by a neighbor. A neighbor with a long-term habit of attacking others. A neighbor who launched a Blitzkrieg, on 24th February this year, attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure from the start. Not for the first time, they have also been at it in 2014, after helping Russian terrorists living in Ukraine. In fact, they were probably 'at it' before then, undermining the government. You can't train and equip two small armies overnight, it takes time, and with the help of it's GRU, FSB and Spetznaz and no doubt, other Russian soldiers actively participating in attacks against Ukraine and it's people.
Their own president is killing their own people by a war
They have opportunity now to improve their lives while no rent, etc.
SHE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE UK IN THE FIRST PLACE FULL STOP
at least the Ukrainians are white and Christian. if they take over they will be replacing of form of Christianity with another, at least there will be Christianity, you can't say that with that other dangerous lot can you?

It is hard to be refugee. My Grandma was internal refugee. She had to leave her home village twice because of Soviets. She was little girl and her family was big. They also spoke Karelian language not Finnish very well. They were eventually put to live in someone who had big house but they had to live in kitchen and work the farm for the food. Thats how it goes when you are a refugee. You have to settle for whats given.

Hahaha ..... typical : no matter how much you give them ,they will always think you should give them more, they are not shy about asking for more and more
The solution is so blaringly obvious. Rather than councils wasting money paying contractors to resolve simple things like mould (which they do all the time) they should provide web-links to instructional TH-cam videos and offer to provide the materials which will allow the tenant to resolve the problems by themselves. It’s so frustrating that when Whitehall pulls the fiscal lever of austerity, no body at the local authority level can think outside the box to find ways to shrink costs. Instead they just continue with the same old inefficiencies by letting building management contracts to firms like Serco. And even for cases where it’s actually the responsibility of private landlords to undertake the remedial works, the situation is still the same because enforcement requires an inspection and that is also outsourced which bloats the cost. The costly portion of the work is usually labour, so let the tenant contribute that. It’s the least they can do if they’ve never contributed to the British economy and yet our nation is providing them with refuge. I’m sure they be quite willing to oblige.
Mold can be hard to get rid of, when I was a student, I had a mold issue in a bathroom due to an ongoing leak. It required a huge industrial dehumidifier running for several days to dry everything out to ensure the mold didn't return.
That’s luxurious compared to student housing.
She is lucky she has a bed if olena doesn't like it send her back
I think Ukraine looks better than the UK...!
Really it’s not. The corruption in Ukraine has led to the rotting of cities
Gov should stop access to benefits for Ukrainian refugees!!
She was entitled for a move, people don't realise the horrible impact bad mould can do to one's health, ESPECIALLY in autumn/winter time. It's a shame to me however that because she's a Ukrainian refugee she gets sympathy (as she should of course) but if it were an african refugee fleeing war, or a middle eastern refugee, they wouldn't get the same media coverage or sympathy, nor help.
I agree up to a point. But it must stop with non-genuine 'refugees', economical migrants for example do not have the same rights but they have been flooding this country for a long time, mainly via France, a known 'safe' country. Skin colour should play no part either way in decision making. Non-genuine refugees should have been returned, and those still arriving should be sent back.
@@tarmactracker That's why the government should get a grip with the backlog of asylum cases instead of paying millions to send them off to Rwanda, which is more costly and defeats the whole purpose the policy was implemented to tackle.
Maybe she should do something about the mould herself then.
As a Ukrainian refugee, at least she’s actually fleeing a war.
@@littlecatfeet9064 Ukrainians aren’t the only people fleeing war tho.
She should have fled to Russia and would received much better support.

I grew up homeless in America, sleeping on rooftops and lifeguard towers instead of going to high school.
I would rather sleep outside wrapped in newspaper and recycled garbage bags, than sleep near a stranger in a different bed; but I guess I have more dignity and self respect than the whining complainer in this video.
How can Ukrainians ever win this war with the entitlement issues I keep seeing, evidenced by the videos they post complaing about life in countries that aren't at war with anything except poverty?
I've known a lot of homeless people in the last 62 years.
I've only heard Ukranians complain about sleeping in a bed.
The only thing that makes me think we shouldn't put ourselves out for Ukrainians, is the whiny videos Ukrainians post about sharing our homes and meals.
I feel exactly the same about their whinging ways! They have alot to learn. They have seriously underestimated getting on the wrong side of the British!
Anti mould spray you can find in any supermarket. Bleach also helpful as antimould

Why are councils renting out places unfit for humans?
Because the government spends tax payers money on everything but the UK tax payers themselves.
They have done so for YEARS you see when Thatcher was in power she sold off most of our housing stock to people renting from the councils - this money was then supposed to be ploughed back into more affordable council properties but it didn’t happen- especially in London because there was no room for a start! My neighbour bought his council flat with a 20 year discount for £5,700 in 1986 in Islington, he then sold it 16 years later for1/4 million- 3 bed flat ! This happened all over the country and lots of people my age inherited their parents bought council houses/flat selling them at prices only affordable by the very rich or renting them out at unaffordable prices without maintaining them , aware that the changed laws for landlords gave them all the power, if you reported a problem, you got asked to leave - simple and that’s the way it continues to be , it’s the Tory way - elevate your neighbour by making them feel better than you because they’ve bought their house and keep them voting Tory incase the interest rates went up - clever eh?
This place is plenty fit for humans, they just don't bother to clean their own homes and expect the council to do it for them.
Please UK acept more Africans too

What bs! Welcome to UK tenancy! It is also not possible to spend hard earned wages because landlords will not fix the squallows!
She seems very resonable for me
She should charge that stranger 😂😂😂😂
It look ok because it is free for them ,
No answer . That’s what I thought . Not even own UKis want you
Like it or not, experienced or otherwise, tolerated worse conditions or not, it makes no difference. This Ukrainian lady escaped from a war torn country, from a war not of it's own making. She is a genuine refugee and this country invited them to stay here. The condition under which she was living are not fit for habitation with damp and mold growth as seen in the video. We can, and we must do better than that. The Council used sub-standard accommodation, and public money, and helped a landlord make money from a house which clearly posed a substantial health risk.
To make things worse her complaints were ignored. It obviously took complaints from others to the council before she was re-housed or accommodated elsewhere. Thanks are due to anyone who helped her resolve the situation. We have far too many public and civil servants who do not do a good job. Surely they have a duty to both public and country as well as for the use of public money. That includes carrying out inspections, BEFORE they put in occupants on property in circumstances like this. They do not exist to enrich bad landlords at public expense.
Edit: If that particular landlord/property owner has other property also used by the same council they need to inspect them before occupation and if already occupied, a surprise inspection should be on the cards.
I really wish charity did begin at home and theses people with all the right things to say would go say them to the families I’ve witnessed living in conditions much worse than this , with never any hope of a move 🤦🏻♀️
Only 10% of Ukraine is war torn. They did not need to travel 5,000 to uk to get peace.
Counsuls in tge North East Englsnd provide evry singke Ukrainian refugee with a nice bungalow, or a one bedroom well equipped council flat. Provide free dental and nedical service and good pension. This kady should better keavd hhus London flat and move to the North East.
I'd rather camp!
They shouldn't be housing dogs in that condition never mind people 😮

This crisis draws attention to the disaster that is housing in the UK.
That's appalling and unforgivable to exploit someone in dire need of housing, especially a war immigrant and of course the Council isn't a bothered about conditions as long as they get their dosh per head.
What about the brown skinned war immigrants ?
I bet they would not be complaining!
If I was in a country with bombs dropping anywhere and had the chance to go somewhere safe but got a room with damp and even had to sleep on the floor! I would not be complaining !
These people should be grateful, not complaining !
If she wants to complain then she should go back to where she came from.
She’s a benefits thief, West Ukraine is safe from the war
Only 10% of Ukraine is at war so why didn’t she stay there in the 90% war free zones?
😂😂😂😂
Feeling Sorry for her. This is disgrace for government.
You'd be better off blaming the labour council they put her in there you could also blame the landlord who is breaking the law
Could have tried Rwanda ? Nice warm climate oh forgot they’d have to live alongside the locals ?😱
The only thing disgraceful is how entitled she is.
