A Ukrainian-born woman who has lived and worked in Perthshire for the past seven and a half years watches with horror as her native city of Kyiv is encircled and bombarded by Putin's troops.
Daria Bosa (34) last stood beside her parents and brother at their family home in Shpyt’ky in January. She was over for New Year, Orthodox Christmas celebrations on January 7 and her mum’s 58th birthday.
The village house where she and her brother Anton (36) grew up in, lovingly maintained by her parents and grandparents before, is fatefully located in a suburb 20 minutes drive from Ukraine’s capital city.
