Taipei-Based Ukrainian Model Thanks Taiwan For Giving Her “A Safe Home To Live In” Amidst The Russia-Ukraine Conflict
She originally wanted to return to Ukraine earlier but her mother urged her not to as she might be called to serve in the military.
Ukrainian model and YouTuber Tatiana Lin, who has been living in Taiwan for the past five years and goes by the Chinese name Jia Na, recently shared her thoughts on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Posting a black square on Instagram on Thursday (Feb 24), the day Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Tatiana began by thanking everyone for their concern for her, her family, and her country.
“A lot of media outlets have come to ask if they can interview me, but I hope everyone can understand that my heart aches and I’m unable to say anything useful,” she wrote in Chinese. “I just want to say that as ordinary citizens, there’s really nothing we can do… I just hope that the war will end soon.”
She continued: “Lastly, thank you Taiwan for giving me a safe home to live in!”
