A Dumfries couple’s bid to bring home fleeing Ukrainian family members has left them all stranded in the Netherlands.
Marketing director Michael Dear dashed to the Czech Republic with his Ukrainian-born wife, Elvira, to rescue her sister Krystyna Sin and 12-year-old nephew, Den, who fled Odessa after the Russian invasion.
They had hoped to bring the mum and son back to Dumfries a week ago but have been stuck in Amsterdam tied up in bureaucratic red tape trying to secure entry visas for the UK.
