  1. Exactly! My wife is Ukrainian. Born and raised in Kharkiv. One of our three sons was working as an engineer for a manufacturer in Kharkiv, Ukraine, which makes parts for German automobiles. The factory was operating sporadically after the invasion and is currently not in production. Our daughter in law and grandson have evacuated to Koln (Cologne) Germany. Our son is still in Kharkiv and volunteering to work with emergency services. Mostly delivering aid. Kharkiv has a huge industrial base and many European manufacturers have factories there, mostly producing labor intensive parts (like wiring harnesses) due to very low wages. Factory workers get paid 10,000-15,000 UAH/month. $340-500/month.
