Two teenagers who fled the war-torn city of Kyiv in Ukraine to stay with their UK family have started their first day at school in the UK today.
Daniil Dushaiev, 15, and Kate Kozyrieva, 13, were very excited to be starting St Thomas More RC School, in Blaydon, Gateshead, after arriving in the UK earlier this month.
The teens are staying with Danil's sister, Slava Shumihin and her husband Oleg in their Rowlands Gill home after Slava, 36, flew out to Poland to bring her brother and cousin Kate to the UK.
