International Colleagues Share Insights on Working with Ukrainians in the UK

London, UK – A recent viral video by a Ukrainian expatriate in the UK, known as "Ukrainian in UK," offers a glimpse into how her international colleagues perceive working with someone from Ukraine. The creator, who identifies herself as a Ukrainian living in the UK, interviewed colleagues from diverse backgrounds, including China, Britain, America, India, and Hong Kong. One Chinese colleague noted, "Ukrainians are a bit straightforward, even a bit sharp, but as an Asian, I'm completely fine with that. I've always felt that Ukrainians are culturally similar to Asians." A British colleague highlighted their direct communication style, stating, "You are more direct than British people. You just shoot from the hip and say what you think, which I like. It's quite good, it's direct, you know where you stand." An American colleague expressed admiration, saying, "She's very thorough, very methodical, detail-oriented, and tough. Super tough. Great in negotiations, doesn't take any nonsense from anybody, and has a wonderful sense of humor." An Indian colleague humorously remarked, "Ukrainians can grow potatoes, fix a car with a spoon, survive winter in slippers. They are the ultimate survivors." The video concludes with the Ukrainian creator teaching her colleagues the phrase "Slava Ukraini," a gesture that resonated with cultural pride. The video provides anecdotal insights into cross-cultural workplace dynamics.
