Ukrainian Women in Germany Discuss German Stereotypes

We're Ukrainian women in Germany, and here's what Germans think of us.

Germans think Ukraine is a very poor country and that Ukrainians are all salukis.

Even though they have no idea what life in Kyiv is like, or how cool and developed the city is and how far Germany is from Kyiv. Very far.

Everyone thinks our main goal is to marry a rich German guy, even though we don't need that at all, so someone can constantly mess with our heads and make us economize.

In Germany, everyone thinks we're very uneducated and stupid, even though at school we had three foreign languages from first grade: English, German, and French.

And overall, our school education is much better than in Germany. Yeah.

Here, I think they're only in the fifth grade doing second-grade material.

Yeah, our curriculum here is two grades behind the Ukrainian one.

If Germans see wealthy Ukrainians, then naturally they think, that it was all funded by their taxes.

If someone goes somewhere, to some place like Monaco, God forbid, or buys something for themselves, they immediately think: That's it, it all comes from our taxes, from our pockets. We paid for it.

Because Ukrainians have no money, even though Ukrainians have always had money.

Our country is so poor. There have always been plenty of rich people in Ukraine.

Even before the war. Yes.
