In this text "dorogostojashie" means in Russian rather "valuable" (or "expensive", than "costly". But it isn't clear from the text what word should be used.
I agree with itsatrap100. And also ''Femme en Ukraine'' and ''ma femme est en Ukraine'', don't mean both the same thing. I think it should be ''as a woman in Ukraine''.
Lilian, are you sure this is the correct meaning and not the French one? (see 44hazal44's remark)
Popwauw, not everyone here speaks Dutch! Thanks for helping, but next time, please make your comments in the target language or in English! (In this case the target language is English too.)
