About
Sofiia Kadetova
I am a 30-year-old Ukrainian refugee, forced to flee my home in Odessa before eventually finding sanctuary in the U.S., first in Boston then Florida and most recently, New York City.
The story of my journey is like many of those who have fled the war in Ukraine. An exhaustive escape on foot and by car through Moldova, to Bucharest and by airplane to safety in the U.S. by way of the United Arab Emirates.
It was in the UAE that I was able to help other women leave Ukraine, including my 15-year-old sister who left our parents’ home on a 40-hour train ride to the Polish border and a stop-over in Gdansk before finally arriving in Germany where she is now safe. My father is in the Ukrainian army but my mother remains in the family home in the eastern part of the country, caring for my 90-year-old grandfather.
It was a speech given by Russian President Putin that put all of this in motion. He made it clear that Ukraine was not to be viewed as a separate county, but an ancient part of Russia – and he vowed that it would be again.
My love for my country of Ukraine is the energy behind this website. As I seek to start a new life in the U.S., I wanted to do something to help those still in the warzone.

Across Ukraine, WCK is bringing hundreds of thousands of daily meals and 35 million pounds of food to over 5,000 distribution sites.


Working at a 24-hour pedestrian border crossing in southern Poland, WCK began serving hot, nourishing meals within hours of the initial invasion, and we quickly grew our response mobilizing teams of cooks in Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, and Germany. With more people returning to Ukraine, WCK is focusing our efforts to provide hundreds of thousands of fresh meals and tens of thousands of food kits each day. We’re reaching hundreds of cities including areas under fire, recently liberated towns, and communities hosting refugees.
As the situation keeps evolving, WCK will continue to help in the best way we know how, with a freshly prepared plate of food.

Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises while working to build resilient food systems with locally led solutions. WCK has served more than 100 million fresh meals to people impacted by natural disasters and other crises around the world.
OUR STORY
About putin.sucks
Rumblings of a Russian invasion had Odessa resident, Sofiia Kadetova planning a trip to Copenhagen. She and her girlfriends were set to leave at 6 p.m. on February 24. They didn’t get the chance. Bombs began falling on Odessa at 5 a.m. that morning. With sirens sounding every three hours for the next five days, Sofiia moved quickly each time between her apartment and the makeshift bomb shelter in a nearby garage. After five days, she and a girlfriend headed to the closest border, Moldova. From Moldova to Romania to the United Arab Emirates to the United States, it was more than three-months of uncertainty dotted with glimpses of a secure future before she found sanctuary with friends in Florida, and eventually making a move to New York City.
Getting to the U.S. was due, in no small part, to a quickly implemented federal program for just this purpose. “United for Ukraine” allows up to 100,000 Ukrainians to come to the U.S. for a period of at least two years.
www.putin.sucks seeks to raise funds for the work of World Central Kitchen in Ukraine. For a contribution of $25.00 USD, a shirt can be shipped anywhere in North America or Europe.
