A Ukraine activist has said she will be taking “a little bit” of Liverpool back home when is it safe for her to return.
Mariia Goubernik came to the city last April after Russia’s full-scale invasion of her home country. The 23-year-old, who now lives in Wavertree, was packing her bag to fly to the UK when an army tank was “literally right in front” of her window - leaving her “not in the right mindset”.
The sex therapist and blogger initially struggled to adapt to the UK but has grown to love it and what it has to offer - especially in terms of an LGBTQ+ community and queer representation.
