Ukrainian actress and blogger Viktoria Maremukha, along with her four-year-old son Luka, has left Ukraine and moved to Portugal. She announced this on her Instagram page, publishing a series of photographs from Lisbon and talking about her first days in the new country. As reported by the entertainment project Styler (RБК-Ukraine), Maremukha had previously shared with subscribers her decision to leave Kyiv due to the security situation, and now she has shown what the beginning of a «new chapter» of her life abroad looks like.
First frames from Lisbon
On Instagram, the actress published a selection of shots capturing the first moments of the move. Under the publication, she wrote: «The beginning of our new chapter with Luka». Among the published frames are a walk with her son on the ocean shore and a touching moment with the child's father. Publishing a video of Luka on the beach, Victoria confessed that her son's joy helps her cope with changes more easily: «It gets easier when I see him so happy and safe». For the first time, the actress and her child will live with the relatives of her ex-husband, after which she plans to move into separate housing.
'I guess it was then that the realization came that I am not going on vacation'
The decision to leave Ukraine was not easy for Maremukha. In Instagram Stories, she confessed that homesickness hit her especially acutely during the flight: «Yesterday I was hit so hard on the plane about an hour before landing. I guess it was then that the realization came that I am not going on vacation». According to the actress, the most difficult thing for her was realizing that her usual life had to be left behind not by her own choice. The next morning, according to her, the emotions became even stronger: «This morning it hit even harder. And my philosophical „accept everything“ changed to „this is unfair“».
Time for adaptation and new plans
Despite her difficult emotional state, Victoria decided not to hide her feelings and gave herself time to get used to the changes. «So I'm giving myself a couple of days to live with this. Not to be strong, but further I promise myself to gradually take up creating a new and interesting chapter of my life», she noted. Currently, the actress is gradually integrating into the new environment and continues to share the first moments of life in Lisbon with her subscribers, intending in the future to focus on professional and personal plans.
Context: the actress's personal life
The move to Portugal takes place against the backdrop of the end of Maremukha's marriage to Frenchman Louis Belle. Previously, the actress revealed details of the divorce, including issues related to the Kyiv apartment. The finalist of the project «Supermodel po-ukrainsky» in recent months has increasingly focused attention on life abroad, and she explained the decision to leave with the child primarily for safety reasons. Currently, Victoria is in Lisbon and continues to actively publish on social networks, documenting her adaptation to the new country.
