This has made it nearly impossible for Yarychuk to organize her trip home. Ukraine closed its airspace and even if she were to find a flight to a neighbouring country, Yarychuk said that crossing the border into Ukraine would be difficult and could take upwards of 20 hours.
As she waits to return home safely, Yarychuk spends her days in Georgetown, Ont., with her boyfriend of two and a half years, who has Ukrainian roots and understands the language well, and their cat.
