If You Don't Know: Black Students in Ukraine

Black Students in Ukraine

BBC Radio 1Xtra - If You Don't Know, Black Students in Ukraine

"We need help. We came just to study... we didn’t come for war.”

De-Graft and Roshan are both back this week. Today we think it's important to focus on what's happening in Ukraine. We speak to two Nigerian students, Mary and AJ, who had moved there to study. They talk us through what life’s like now that Russia has invaded the country. Mary is still stuck there, scared and missing her family, while AJ has managed to leave and get to a safer place. This one is a tough listen but needed.
