It's a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, a year of countless lives upended,

civilians and soldiers killed, homes torn apart, and many forced to flee their homeland to live as refugees.

It's been a story of loss and of resilience, and it's that resilience that we're

talking about today. You need to do something. You need to make your mind busy to feel better,

to feel comfortable. In this special two-part edition of Business Daily with me, Alex Bell,

we'll meet some of the 8 million people

who've been forced to flee Ukraine in the last 12 months. We'll hear how, against the odds,

refugees are making new lives, rebuilding their businesses, and contributing to the economies

in the places that they've found themselves. If we imagine that one day, all these Ukrainians that we have already in our country

disappeared, this makes a catastrophe, collapse of our economy, because our country rely on these people.

Today, we'll hear from three Ukrainian refugees on three different continents.

All of them have had to start again from scratch.

We just have one suitcase. We sat on a car and we went to the border. And that was terrifying

because if you look back, you would probably never see this again.

First, we're in Perth, Western Australia, more than 7,000 miles from the Ukrainian capital,

Kiev. Vladimir Razimuskaya ran a successful business there growing and selling plants.

At one stage, he was cultivating more than a million a year.

He left Kiev with his wife and children on the day the war began.

Hi, Alex.

Hello, Velodemir.

And hello to all your audience.

Volodymyr doesn't speak English, so I spoke to his wife, Regina.
