Brit who rescued wife and son from Ukraine plans to move back to warzone permanently

A heroic dad who travelled to Ukraine to rescue his wife and two-year-old son as Russia invaded the country, now plans to move there permanently.

Ian Umney, 29, began his journey in Eastern Europe last year on a mission to save his Ukrainian wife and young child from the conflict. He and his family finally escaped the country and settled in Liverpool, where Ian was working as a teacher.

His wife Nelia, 27, is now training to get a qualification to teach English to other foreign workers coming to Britain, while three-year-old Jonathan has settled into nursery school.
