Couple return to Ukraine due to UK housing costs

A couple who left their home in Kyiv after the Russian invasion of Ukraine have returned to the war-torn country due to the cost of housing in the UK.

They said while rent had gone up in the some parts of the country "coming from the UK it's still really affordable". The couple, who met while they were teaching English in Ukraine in 2019, came to the UK in February to escape the conflict in the country. He said they initially stayed with friends and family before looking for a home in either Sheffield or Nottingham, but said they were met with "terrible" housing conditions, high costs and rental requirements they could not meet."We doubled our budget and more ... we had a very strict list of requirements and we just kept going 'OK, well, compromise on this, compromise on this, compromise on this'.

Should have tried coming over in a little boat

It's so great in the UK, so they went back to a war torn country. Welcome to Britain.
