A man who left the UK for a skiing holiday in his native country of Ukraine is now bracing himself to potentially fight Vladimir Putin’s invading army, after being told he could not cross the border with his family.
Tymofii Dmytrenko, a 39-year-old IT specialist, arrived in Kyiv with his wife and their two children on 18 February with the intention of going skiing and visiting his parents during a 10-day visit.
