The ceasefire talks between Ukraine and Russia are increasing through the United States, but those who have fled the war in Ukraine over the past three years say that when they see it, they will believe it – and yet, there are doubts.
Natalia Vinohradova has been based in Canada for more than two years after escaping from the war in Ukraine, “I am not sure.”
“I just know Russian people … it's not just Putin,” said Vanohradova. “Some of them do not want this war, but most people in Russia hate Ukrainian people.”
She works Dania Ukraine Kitchen In North Edmonton (12153 Fort RD), Which is almost completely staff through Ukrainian refugees.
The kitchen is full of women who have fled the fear and violence of war.
The staff is watching the latest conversation between the United States and their homeland. They say they are hopeful – even if they feel that they should not.
“This is probably because I want it,” said Vinohradova. “Like my heart, (I) believe it may be possible but my mind says 'maybe not.'
“I am not sure that this war can stop someday.”
Kiev accepted an American proposal that could have paused 30 days between the two Eastern European countries. Russia has not yet accepted.

The deal came just a week later, when Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelinsky met President Donald Trump and other US administration officials at an explosive meeting in the DC in the White House in Washington.
The US administration says it will now present the Kremlin with a ceasefire offer. Trump said he did not refuse to put pressure on Russia.
“Hopefully we will be able to get a ceasefire with Russia,” Trump said on Wednesday. “If we do, I think 80 percent of the way to end this horrific blood killing.”
Ukraine Canada's Congress's Alberta Council says that after a three -year war, they hope it is. They are looking for a bright future.
“People will somehow try to create a new routine for them. President Oraisia Boychen said,” Simply, nothing away from the shelling.
The Congress believes that if the Russians choose not to accept the ceasefire, it sends a big message.
“If they choose not to support peace, it will continue to support and strengthen Russia's aggression and irrational behavior,” said Bachuk.
On the occasion of the ceasefire, women in the kitchen of Dania Ukraine should be hopeful – but they have seen a lot of horror and have heard many lies to find relief in the news.
“I really want this peace, I want to return to Ukraine,” Vinohradova explained, saying that he left his parents and siblings behind.
“Even if my children want to stay here in Canada, I want to go to my family, to meet them.”
