"Ukraine is a country dear to our hearts as a company. We had been working hard to bring it to a wider public, sponsoring multiple trips there in 2017 and 2018. We have a Ukrainian colleague who has had to flee the country, leaving her husband behind. We have wonderful partners there who provide excellent day trips, transfers, and accommodation. Our hearts ache for all of them. Our guests always had a wonderful time and were surprised by the warmth of the people and just how delicious the food was. We can’t wait to get back to showing people the magic of Ukraine, once Russia is defeated."
