A Leeds café owner travelled 4,000 miles in four and a half days to save his family who live in Ukraine.
Luigi, who owns Dolce Vita Craft and Kitchen in Beeston Road, told customers of the popular cafe on March 1, "for the next couple of days I will be away."
He risked his life and travelled to Ukraine to get his sister-in-law and nephew to safety from Putin's war on the country.
