A woman forced to flee war-torn Ukraine is hoping to revive her natural cosmetics business in Ayrshire – after the Russian invasion left her homeless and penniless.
Khrystyna Yarema had to leave her beloved country two weeks after the start of the war when it became clear it was too dangerous for her to stay.
Thankfully she found a safe haven in Ayr, where her mother Liliia Thomas calls home after she married a Scottish man a few years ago.
