"I was running from my home in Kyiv as the Russian army occupied Bucha,
Gostomel and Irpin in the early stages of its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
By accident, I was leaving in a bus that a nearby international school was
using to evacuate its students and staff. We drove for a long time, spending
nights in bomb shelters with young people and their kids from China, the Middle
East and India who had been studying and working in Ukraine.
When the war broke out, Ukraine was hosting tens of thousands of students from
the Global South and was generally viewed as a partner in many countries.
But the war disrupted everything, including public opinion in many of these
same countries. Now, Ukraine is struggling to gain support in the Global South,
which has shown ambivalence about the invasion and been reticent to cut off
ties with Russia."
