Trying to take credit from us now hhhhhmmmmmmm????

"We want to say to Irish people that we are so grateful for all the kindness and hospitality that they treat us with."
A pair of Ukrainian refugees who have moved to Dublin to escape Russia's invasion of the Ukraine appeared on Sky News with Kay Burley on Tuesday morning.

Allada and Anastasia spoke about how they travelled for four days to the Polish border to escape the conflict before settling safely in Dublin.

"Our homeland Ukraine is under attack from Russian bombs and rockets," Allada said.

"Our native city, Kharkiv, is targeted by the enemy. As you know, civilians are dying every day. Our families who stayed in Kharkiv are hiding in bomb shelters and underground stations to avoid Russian rockets and bombs."

Speaking on how the pair ended up in Ireland, Allada said it came by chance.

"We were in desperation because we couldn’t find accommodation and a job in Poland," she said.

"We became stranded in Poland and we had no idea and that is why we decided to go back to Ukraine, and the fact that we are in Ireland now is just amazing."

Burley then ended the interview by expressing her joy that the pair of them are safe but ended up saying this slightly confusing line.

"I'm so pleased that you're safe and what a terrible journey that you have had but hopefully you can start to build a new life in Dublin safe in the knowledge that the British people are completely behind you, thank you so much," Burley said.

In response, Allada took a moment to thank the Irish people for their warm hospitality and in particular the host family which has taken her and Anastasia in.

"We want to say to Irish people that we are so grateful for all the kindness and hospitality that they treat us with," she said.

"And the Irish family that hosted us, we’re surrounded in this family by care and attention and we can feel family warmth. We really appreciate it and we’re touched from the bottom of our hearts."

Ukrainians travelling to Ireland will receive special refugee status and will be entitled to live and work in Ireland as EU citizens.

Almost 6,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in the country since the start of the conflict with Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland Larysa Gerasko saying that 80,000 refugees could arrive in Ireland over the coming months.

It was an idiotic thing to say... But then I've heard her say lots of idiotic things.

To play devil's advocate - you COULD still say that "the British people are completely behind you" (meaning Ukraine in general) regardless of where they're settled. I'm not saying it wasn't a unionist-minded slip, but there's plausible deniability .

Burley speaks English for a living. I'm cutting her no slack on this one.

"We, the government of Great Britain, are generous. We've set aside Ł350 for every Ukrainian family that arrives in Britain. This will be in the form of ... vouchers... ..."

I can't really see the government giving out Ł24 million a month to be honest.

Yes Large amount

get a life, she was just saying that the British people support them. It was a nice thing to say. Bitches should be thanking their god if they want to be so dumb and take it down to the a lowest common denominator.

Where’s the article that’s seemingly been copy and pasted in full? (Including tte ‘Learn More’ bits you’ve done, hoping we’d be able to click on them. Did you read the post before publication?, or even the article itself?. It doesn’t support the claim in the title at all)

The pair didn’t correct Burley at all, and you know it. Another thread trying to have a little dig at ancient English-Irish conflict. Niamh I thought you’d have a little self respect and focus on the conflict actually in hand. The Ukrainian-Russian one, remember?

No you won’t, but you’ll happily give me an infraction because my opinion doesn’t line up with yours.

Hmm, if it was Scotland or Wales (literally British) I could understand, but Ireland isn't part of GB
