Woman Orders £4,500 Uber To Help Ukraine After Having 'One Too Many Double Pink Gins'

Recently, the world is all paying attention to the invasion of Russia in Ukraine - an unprecedented act of war in the 21st century. As Putin's war has put the Ukraine citizens in panic mode, many people from other countries are willing to help those in need as much as possible.
And this 34-year-old woman has decided to support Ukraine, but she did it in the craziest way. She claimed that she ordered a £4,500 ($5,900) Uber to take her straight from Swinton, Greater Manchester to Ukraine as she wanted to 'help out.'

On Saturday, March 5, Leoni Fildes was out celebrating her pal's birthday when the conversation turned to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And she was asked if her boyfriend, who is in the military, might be forced to fight if the UK entered the war and she proclaimed if he did, she would go with him.
She has claimed she drunkenly ordered an Uber to Ukraine as she wanted to 'help out' after having 'one too double pink gins' and 'shots of sambuca', as well as a bottle of prosecco in the night out. And that trip would cost her a whopping £4,578.
Luckily for her, as she attempted to book the £4,578 trip she was told she had ‘insufficient funds.'
The mum-of-two said that she was only reminded of her attempts to go to Ukraine the next day when her bank contacted assuming her card had been fraudulently used after nine attempts to pay for the Uber were reportedly declined.
She says she's now glad she didn't have enough money in her account and has questioned what may have happened if she had gone on the trip.

"One too many drinks later, we were trying to get a taxi home. We said shall we get a taxi and go help them."

"We'd been out for about four hours so I'd had a few double pink gins and quite a lot of shots of sambuca and a bottle of prosecco."

"I think that might have tipped me over the edge."

"I don't know what I'd do if Uber had let me order it. I don't think I'd have got in but you don't know after a drink."

"I might have piled into the taxi and realized when we got further out."

“It would have been coming out of my account and I don't know where I'd have woken up."

"After we'd done that, I couldn't get a taxi for about an hour and a half."

An Uber spokesperson said no trips were "successfully made in this instance" and it is now investigating what happened.
