A couple that fled conflict and left their home in war torn Kyiv, Ukriane in February have returned home due to the costs and conditions they face in the UK. Joe Place, from Sheffield, and his wife Irina, received a Ukraine Family Scheme visa and managed to secure jobs in the country.
Their job status meant they couldn't find a permanent home, according to the Liverpool Echo, because they couldn't apply for the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Mr Place, 29, was house-hopping between family and friends after arriving in the UK with his wife.
He has struggled to find a place to live however due to "terrible" housing conditions, high costs and rental requirements. The couple have now decided to return to Ukraine and are now living in the western city of Uzhhorod.
