Seeing her kids playing with their cousins and not worrying about bombs falling from the sky is priceless for Tanya Kaliuzhna.
She was separated from her kids for nearly a year after she sent them stay with her sister, Elena, in Calgary when the war stated in Ukraine.
“In Warsaw, when she gave me her kids and she went back to Ukraine, she said she didn’t know if she would see her kids ever again,” said Burden from her home in northwest Calgary.
Kaliuzhna lived in the city of Kryvyi Rih, parts of which were dramatically flooded after Russian cruise missiles blew up a nearby dam.
“My city has a very big problem with water because they bombed the dam. My sister’s house is underwater completely. It’s gone,” Burden said.
“Every day the planes in the sky are above you and you don’t know if they are Ukrainian or Russian and always there is the explosion of bombs. You can hear it all around so you don’t know where it’s falling,” said Kaliuzhna.
In November, Kaliuzhna decided to come to Canada under under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program that was launched in March 2022. Under CUAET, Ukrainians were able to come to Canada and live and work for up to three years.
