Dundee United business boss helps refugees escape Ukraine as club chair pledges £10k to cause

A selfless Dundee United employee has praised by his bosses for helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion - as the club chairman agreed to donate £10,000 towards transport for fleeing families.

Club international business manager Ricardo Cerdan, 45, recently travelled to a camp near the village of Medyka on the Poland-Ukraine border with over £2,000 of United-branded outerwear and blankets to hand out to those escaping the violence.

Together with other volunteers, he also made the journey into the western Ukraine city of Lviv to help refugees get away from Russian oppression.
