Young people from Ukraine who were fleeing the war against Russia have been openly welcomed to Scotland.
The group of youths, known as the ‘Dnipro Kids ’, were trapped in Poland for a few weeks as problems with their travel documents were ironed out.
But upon gaining permission to enter the UK, the 52 orphans, who stayed in group homes with carers and other siblings before the war broke out, were transported to a flight and then taken to Edinburgh where they were welcomed with ‘open arms.’
