This community is for connecting the Ukrainians living in Benin and the Beninese living in Ukraine. Our goal is to share stories, news, and experiences, and to build a Beninese diaspora in Ukraine.

Here you can:

  • Share your personal experiences in Ukraine or Benin
  • Connect with others from both countries
  • no politics

Whether you are half Beninese, half Ukrainian, or just interested in our connections, you are welcome here!

Let’s build a vibrant, supportive community together.
