A terrified dad who was preparing to flee Ukraine as it teeters on the brink of war with Russia is staying put – despite UK Government warnings to leave.
Former Helensburgh man Stuart McKenzie had frantically packed up his car and filled it with fuel ready for a desperate 10-hour drive with wife Lena, 49, and their two sons, aged 15 and 12, for safety in Poland.
It came as UK nationals were told by the Foreign Office on Friday to “leave now while commercial means are still available” amid warnings Russia could attack “very, very quickly”.
