An Edinburgh dad forced to flee his home in Ukraine with his young son after an air base just a few miles away was attacked by Russian forces has safely crossed the border into Poland.
Ken Stewart says he is now desperate to get wife Tania, daughter Yaryna and two-week old Douglas to Scotland after racing from their house 40 miles outside Kyiv amid the Kremlin’s invasion of the country.
The 54-year-old spent almost two days queuing with thousands of others desperate to escape fighting after taking the heart wrenching decision to leave many of Tania’s relatives behind.
