A Ukrainian family in Berlin | DW Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2022
- In March 2022, 43-year-old Sascha fled Ukraine with her 17-year-old daughter, Anna. Anna's father died a few years ago while fighting in eastern Ukraine. Now Sascha and Anna are starting a new life in Berlin.
Sascha was working in a call center, and Anna was attending school. The mother and daughter were living in Chernihiv, close to the border with Belarus, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and started pounding their hometown with bombs. They fled to Germany, where they’re now living with a host family in Berlin. With school, learning the language and finding a job, there are many challenges ahead. We follow the pair as they adjust to their new life in Berlin.

Hosted family is so kind hearted. They offered shelter and help, and it makes the life of two refugees more comfortable and replace bad menories with good ones.
Their German hosts are so kind to the mother and the young girl! All the best to all the Ukrainians who had to flee their fatherland...🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
You just need to prepare the context and not eat what DW gives you, because DW likes to propagate the current narrative.
Ukraine did not ever exist before 1991, and Ukraina is founded on lands stolen from other countries. Ukrainian murdered a lot of people there by chopping them with axes, burning them alive. More recently Ukrainians do exactly the same in Donbas or Odessa in 2014. The Ukrainian government was created by a coup d'état, Western Ukrainians murdered people who wanted to vote. They burned them alive. You just need to prepare the context and not eat what DW gives you, because DW likes to propagate the current narrative.

The resilience, bravery, and unity of the people in Ukraine inspire the hearts of many. This inspiration is strength. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
Fake news alert. The civilian male 18-59 were blocked from leaving, forced to be target practice. Being deployed into war, with no training. Russia can as well kill all 18-59 bearing arms coz the whole country is now soldiers. Never arm civilians, unless you ready for the consequences
What will Azov inspire?
The amount of support ukranian getting from world is huge fed up of hearing about Ukraine how about Iran Syria Iraq Yemen Palestine......
Hehe Ukraina is the most corrupted land on the World, what are you tallking about? Ukraina is self proclaimed country on lands stolen from other countries, the right inhabitants of the lands were crucial murdered by Ukrainians just a few decades ago
I associate daily with a vast and diverse group of German nationals and in my experience, they are extremely kind, intelligent and compassionate people. It’s no surprise to me that Ukrainian refugees are being embraced so kindly in Germany.
I'm very impressed with the way the Germans are handling and helping the Ukranians. Unfortunately here in the UK our government is useless and dragging its feet in offering proper support for Ukrainian refugees.
@@MonkeyOWar Britain seems rudderless the last decade or so. I don’t understand what their problem is. They exist to lead the free world but don’t seem to be up to the task.

Ukrainians need something from you, that's why they play kind ones, ukrainian speakers are bad people since generations
Germany has become one of the top refugee hosting country over last 10 years, well done !
Well there is a saying "No good deed goes unpunished"
ww3 will clear it out. we all know who are behind it and who will get blamed.
the heart of true solidarity of this country is heritage to the World
Very well done to Germany by making it easy for Ukranians to get settled and offering the support they need. Unfortunately here in the UK our government is useless, they have no urgency and are doing the bare minimum to help Ukrainians get settled.
I will say uk government officials are doing nothing to help them out, even if they (ukrainian) are lucky enough by some miracle to get uk visa they arriving to uk just to discover so they can't open bank account, apply for NIN,got paperwork sorted for refugee allowances etc wh leads them to land on strret as they can't work get money to pay back host/sponsor for bills etc but UK gov don't care it follow old rules "promise everything deliver nothing "😒😔 unfortunately..
No, it's actually good that the UK doesn't let them in. Send them back too
When the West gives logistic support to this war, it becomes their responsibility to take care of the refugees. 🤣
That’s ridiculous. Germany is importing more Russian fossil fuels than ever and hampering weapon transfers.
Of course the root of the problem is Russia or Putin, to be precise ! No civilize country will invade another country with military force. That is an act of barbarians . We are in the 21 century, not stone-age !!!
Thank you, DW, for bringing us such great videos in general but specifically with the Ukrainians that Germany is helping. It is so frustrating to think of people (every day all the time) so far from us in the US and not be able to help them more.
One American who came to Poland to help Ukrainian people said that as he became aware of history, he does not understand why we helping ukrainians
@@Charles31822 So true. Sadly our government has done little to help Ukrainian refugees aside from let a few in from Tijuana. It embarrasses me as an American but we are a nation adrift.
The tragic thing is we are all the same. They crossed easily... fortunately for them
It's heartbreaking to see the pain of these people, because it is all so uneccessary.
It takes the evil of one or two dictators to fill the world with destruction and chaos.
Gracias a Zelenki . Se puso a joder al Oso 🐻 y esas son las consecuencias. Ucrania será parte nuevamente de Rusia 🇷🇺 quieran o no lo quieran
Thanks to your faithful friend AMERICAN!
no not dictators... its the private bankers that control the countries. war is profitable to them, and they do not care about anyones lives
Putin will fail! Putin is not Russia!

Germany is huge upgrade in every way; hopefully they learn the German language and can get good employment
@@janb3625 no, we want the woman to stay.
Lovely people, lady is so elegant. All the best to them ❤
@DW : you bring out the best in docurmentaries. ;)
from Austrralia
As usual, Just amazingly great DW documentary. Thanks for all of these. Just excellent putting these together very well thank you so much for all you do much appreciation.
Not as usual, i saw one journalists at DW who deliberately lied in
reports, making you belive white is black and black is white
Thanks all you a lot DW. Watching from Uzbekistan
The German Bureaucracy. I know the pain. I'm a dual citizen (American/German) and getting my German passport took 8 months just for them to finally acknowledge that I'm German and get the passport in progress. I'm glad they were able to get through some of their hurdles much faster.
Only 8 months? Lucky you. This myth of German efficiency has to die finally. My country is a joke on so many levels :(
@@ruinerblodsinn6648 I wouldn't say that. In a lot of ways it's very true. It's just the government where it's not. lmao
Bless all of these beautiful people. So intelligent lonely and trying to re-create their lives and the fact that they’re learning other languages it’s just beautiful and I wish us as Americans would understand that all these countries learn to speak English and it’s about time that we embrace that and teach our kids foreign language at an early age not just in high school I’m sorry for all your loss please persevere
Too bad in America everyone is so Ignorant and instead of trying to understand some Latino that is struggling to speak English to take your fat asses order in a drive thru while dealing with poverty hate and working Two jobs gets humiliated for not speaking English too well, many work long shift with no breaks and are paid less than minimum wage.
Nice documentary very inspiring story of mother and daughter struggling for life
They will find pair of Germany sausages to fill their void
I feel sorry you had to flee from your country but I am happy you found a big hearted host; I wish you and your host would be mutual blessing to each other in your lives and in the life of your two people.
That is really so nice and kind hearted to give them a Home .even so I am not in Berlin anymore "Willkommen in Berlin "
Understandably not very balanced, but how wonderful of this beautiful German family ....
?
@@sueprator9314 I believe Sunnysue is referring to the fact that suffering like this has been endured by Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the Donbass for eight years. That, at least, was what I thought when I heard this report. But certainly it is beautiful of the German family to help out the refugees.
Her husband probably died fighting Russian in the Donbas..
So lovely that people are so resilient and not the government's
@DW Documentary Would like to know what happened to them. Are you doing a follow up?
they are good, and they are doing well, migrated to better country than their own and this was their dream! , sometimes they go travel to visit back their home and, you can see them on every flixbus station 😅😅😅
Good work done by Germany.. Respect 🙏🙏
Bless your with peace love and happyness 🙏
What happened to gender equality. Men are forced to fight wars and women ran away.
💗💗💗 God Bless People that are helping Ukrainian
The man said if we see someone fall, we lean down and pick them up? hahahaha...what world is this dude living on? Doesn't he know, when someone is on fire or gets hit by a truck...it needs to be recorded first and then put on social media? This guy!
What an inspiring story!
Beyond heartbreaking
i barely can imagine their suffer... i'm so sorry for all what happened with this family.
the girl the same age as me... why? who decides who must suffer?
wish all ukrainians strength and peace🙏
People from all over the world must never let any politician in the world start unnecessary and unjust wars ever again.
What a wonderful program. I was so touched to see the incredible kindness of the German family. I wish the Ukranian family peace and some respite... what a horrible reality they must be living.
Good Luck Mum an Daughter in whatever you do ♥ May the good lord stay with you 💙💛💙💛
Danke für den Bericht! Gut, dass ihr nicht zu sehr auf die Schwierigkeiten eingegangen seid mit der deutschen Bürokratie. Es ist gut, dass man, wenn man einmal die Anfangsschwierigkeiten überwunden hat, dass es dann auch weitergeht. Gut, dass man auch sieht, wie die Deutschen helfen.
Thank you for the report! Good, you didn't emphasize on the difficulties with the German bureaucracy too much. Fact is, when you once overcame the first hurdles, the process is continuing. Good to see the help from Germans.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Salute to everyone who is helping Ukrainians in any way .
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
God be with you!
Watching from 🇰🇪
God help every Ukrainian refugee to start a new peaceful and prosperous life 🇺🇦🇪🇺 Good luck with learning the German and English languages! I've heard they speak Russian (not Ukrainian). I was a native speaker in Russian too, when I was a child, but now it's in the past. Leave this language in your past too and be integrated. God bless you 🙏🏻
P.S. The Ukrainian government should allow male citizens to leave Ukraine too. Many of them will not fight, anyway. Don't divide families. Many Ukrainians wanted to move even before the war. Everyone should be able to start a new life in peace.
No no, listen, if they allow ukrainian males out, what will the poles do? 🙂
This is what's Putin should consider for his next life to pay back what he has created during the past couple of months....or he can just rot in hell without possible next life for him
It's wonderful how the German family is helping Ukrainian refugees. And it's great that countries and people all over the world are helping Ukrainian refugees. Praying for peace in Ukraine 🙏
What a beautiful thing to let two strangers move into your home. Not only that, they drove to the Ukrainian border to help them come to Berlin. I see Ukrainian people who have fled here in Sweden and elsewhere and they adjust to their new home culture in seconds. Ukrainians are beautiful.
in czech republic and poland is already full of them and before wayyyyyyy back, before yearsthey come to europe to work and their old women work as restaurant cleaners and their young teenage girls work in prostitution. they are all been in europe, thats why some peoplendont like them, not because they are support russians, but because they are ratty
God Bless Ukraine
Amazing to see how berlin the city i love are so warming and welcoming
Human indevar is the ture colour of humanity at is best
Germany a real civil modern and high quality coutry. Perfect 👌🏻
God bless kind people like this host family who take in refugees
I feel so bad about this, its Rwanda all over again. Why is this dictatorship still OK? World... correction the world is still doing nothing. Economics matter more 😥
Ukrainians murdered much more people than this a few thuosands cyvilians that died on Ukraine recently. Ukraina never exist before 1991 and It is self proclaimed country on lands stolen from other countries, ukrainians brutally murdered rightful inhabitants of today's "Ukraina' using axes and burning them alive. Man, if you become aware of history you would be surprised why we actually must support ukrainians. Probably globalists have a business to do there
😭😭😭🕊
PLEASE do a documentary about the Black people in Ukraine and how they are being helped..
These are indeed good people of German in the world.
Why syria was forgotten? Why no shelter for Afghan residents?
Ask Russia and the taliban
DW helps explain this has already been going on for way too long with too much loss
.
There are worse places to land as a refugee than Berlin.
Australia here - Am just curious, is 350 Euros a month enough to live on?
Nope
@@somethingelse9228 Hmm...I wasn't sure. It didn't sound like much, but I wasn't sure how much a Euro compared to the Australian $. Is it like the standard unemployment benefit there, or is that different? I guess they are probably grateful to be getting something. Can't even imagine what it would be like to be in that situation. Very sad.
Most likely no, consider the high living costs in EU
Not really, it is the amount of money which you'd need for your personal living, so not including rent or insurances, it's just the basics, what's called the poverty line, so, food, haircuts, soap and those things one needs to survive. And surely there is a discussion about it. It seems a lot and I like it this way, as long it doesn't make working too unattractive.
UN needs to help Ukraine against this chaos
What chaos?
What about middle east countries distroyed for fake allegations of chemical weapons.
The UN wanted this war. That's why they encouraged the deaths of 14000 people in Donbas since 2014 by Nazis Azov 🤔
You are FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to go and help them fight punk!!!
UN is the reason Ukraine is in this chaos
Yes due to this crazy bureaucratic system other people who need appointments can’t get them. Some have equally pressing issues concerning sick family members, but it is impossible to get an appointment. And why is I that Ukrainians that are working full time in Germany receive housing and food benefits. Why do you pay for their housing when they earn 2000 euros a month? Many other people live and pay rent on this money. Please do a report on this!
350 euros per month? That's three times more then the average salary in Ukraine! Hold on, Germany. I'm packing my things
350 Euros is nothing when you live in Germany. The cost of living is high.
@@annapomelo3818 the cost of living is high? they don't pay rent and they get 350 euros a month for doing absolutely nothing. Try living with that kind of money when you live in ukraine and having to pay rent...
The average salary is more than 500 euros in Ukraine.
@@Xunxunism stop using average when talking about income as it's not truthful, one earns 10 000 $ the other one wins 1$, they are both rich but one can't buy a shoelace. Use the median income and you will see that it will be 220$ (DOLLARS NOT EUROS)
@@anubaral 220/month is very very very poor level. Even by the looks of Ukrainian refugees, I dont think they are that poor.
Thats the mighty Germany for you!.
God Almighty bless Ukraine and save ukrainian nation ...
I hope Ukraine is safe once more
Once America stops initiating wars across the world Ukraine will be at peace.
I am just wondering witch language are they speaking is it russian and Ukrainian and sorry for my bad English
Russian and Ukraine speaks as much as the same its just different accents like Syrians and Lebaneses 😅
@@jamesbcker9494 yeah but russian and Ukrainian are also different languages
they speak Russian. For Ukrainians, Russian is their second native language, but Ukraine is a separate country, and this does not give a neighbor the right to throw up his hands and destroy people
@@4etvertyu yes of course they have the right to have their own country that is for sure,but it just me was asking witch were they speaking and you answered me so thank you very much,btw where are you from
Why doesn't Anna, the girl, speak German with the interviewer? She surely has enough German to say a few simple sentences. After all they speak German with the host family every day.
She might be more comfortable to speak English. So, what?
@@Aberelimar disrespecting language of host nation to make point that she's too sophisticated to speak German.
@@SionTJobbins That's too "sophisticated" for me, sorry to say, and, by the way, I am from Germany and love German language and culture a lot, as long it's not nationalistic.
Excellent hospitality but was this level of hospitality given to coloured migrants?
Ukranians come from a neighbouring countryand had to flee because they were attacked. Most "couloured migrants" travel far distances to Europe because of the inability of their own culture to grant a good living and in order to profit from social security in Europe. Europe social security system mainly has been established to support its own people and not to be taken as a public good for the whole of mankind and payed by the European taxpayers. The second would over strech European resources and destroy Europe as it is known by its inhabitants.
People of Ukraine are the one who needs help & can help europe too unlike the ones who form gangs,
from d Philippines interested with what's going on nowadays specially in your beautiful country envading by a 🫣😢🤞🛐🙏🏼🎄🧑🎄⛄😘 praying for your recovery and justice
They big ladies , nails done , make up , who has time in war time ? Just curious
Why don't they go to Kiev?
Or to Moscow? Maybe you go back to Syria?
💙💛
My perception of Germans changed.
《《《《 Forget Europe!! South Africa is great and very cheap down here!!))))
Wo bleiben die anderen Flüchtline, Syrien, Iraq, etc? 2 Klassen Flüchtlingsgesellschaft?
😔😔😔
.....
Comments full of russian bots justifying invasion of the independent country and "blaming the victim" is just hilariously dumb.
Also Scholz keep saying that he will supply weapons to UA, while in fact doing everything to prevent these supplies.
Ukraine did not exist ever till 1991. Ukraine was founded on lands stolen from other countries after the 2nd world war. Ukrainians murdered the people who were living there, burning them alive and chopping them with axes. The Ukrainian government was created by a coup d'état, Western Ukrainians murdered people who wanted to vote. They burned them alive. Odessa 2014. Why DW does not talk about it? You just need to prepare the context and not eat what DW gives you, because DW likes to propagate the current narrative.

I yust can cry, ist heardbriking, Take in your Mask Form savety!
sorry to offer a difference of opinion. Ukrainians should be assisted in Ukraine, plenty of unaffected land. Really too many folks that not coming from a conflict zone, just like seen with other refugees. Seems to be lots of double standards and perhaps Germany needs a population boost? that is with "proper" white Europeans. Virtue signaling is taking over, end the conflict by negotiations and peace, not feeding more destruction.
2/3 of Ukrainian refugees stayed in Ukraine. Open you eyes!
@@outdoorolli5754 really ..i dont think, millions in Poland ,Germany and rest of europe and frankly many do not seems like refugees since driving in fancy cars ,well dressed and coming and going - i Sincerely hope that this conflict will end and Ukraine can start rebuilding the affected areas in the east and south .
Not interested on this episode,
God what the hell is going on?
how about Syria Yemen Iraq Iran Afghanistan.......
They are muslims, and they never really fought for any democracy
Someone's comment has been deleted
Its not current and less likely to attract attention that the media capitalizes, maybe if these countries were attacked and invaded again there would be news.
Why do they speak Russian and not Ukranian then?
Russian is a major language in Ukraine. So?
@@Xunxunism Do not So? me. I understood your comment.
They look like us. They are much welcomed
The Donbass and eastern ukraine people just like you who want peace,for 8 bloody years they lives in pain that crime from ukraine government,but you never consider their pain and now blaming Russian.Remember what you give you gets back.
Germans are Great People

Russia need to be held acountobal this is the worst thing that have happend sens secound war
I wonder would those families accept young boys as refugees
Lmao🤣🤣
Of course not, especially when the colours are dark.
Say thanks to Americans and European for this .
pootin's scmbag detected
I understand the pain you are going through after having to leave your belongings and your country behind . But the fact is this war would have been stopped if none intervened with Russian security. They are obviously trying to defend their country . Imagine a whole lot of troops going next to USA and spying them . So that’s where the problem lies . Wish you all success in life . But above all this politics game which innocent people suffering
You need to research your facts 👍🏻
Are Bandera marches legal in Germany?

What Minsk peace accord?! Ukraine was forced by America to skip peace for 7 years then start this war. America needs to sell weapons. Cost of doing business.
Now, what could be a solution, putin is in the driving seat completely, how long zelensky could demand help from around the world, so better he resigned from his presidency, so putin could come to the negotiation table, every one in this world expect peace to Ukraine, because our children enjoying the peace and harmony. Thank you
True
What? You are asking Zelinsky to resign? THAT IS ABSURD. WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? That is a complete win for the monster Putin.
@@sueprator9314 we americans and everybody else are tired of sending the Ukrainians money and weapons zelensky is just getting his people killed while he sits in his off DRUNK INFRONT OF HIS Camera 🤔
Yeah give Ukraine to Hitler just like you gave czechia to Hitler. Worked out great, didn't it? If you give Ukraine to Putin he'll continue with Moldavia and Georgia. You can't just give an aggressor what they want.
maybe you are ill informed or just a victim to Russian propaganda.
Stop arming Ukraine start talks. End this.
Or Russia could just back off, then west wouldn't have to send weapons
@@koof12345 They where back off and NATO wanted in with missile systems aim towards Russia. Just Leave Ukraine neutral and alone thats all.

The war Zelensky started, all because he wanted to be funded. Useless war, now a whole country has one safe city-Kyiv
True ... This is wat happens when your president is not a hardcore Politician.

Why do I think the profile pic doesnt match the message? Bots working overtime.
he is part of the global scam. they want to neutralize russian nukes to secure the promised land project
