Man who brought Ukrainians to Liverpool reflects on 'extremely moving' Eurovision experience

A Liverpool man who brought a group of Ukrainians to Liverpool for the Eurovision Song Contest has reflected on an "extremely moving" experience.

The ECHO has charted the efforts of Tim Johnson to bring six Ukrainians and six Poles over to the city for a week of fun around the famous song contest. The group have all worked tirelessly to help people affected by the Russian invasion since it began over a year ago.

Tim and his Polish fiancé met the group while volunteering in Poland and have remained friends. When Liverpool was announced as the host city for Eurovision last autumn, he made it his mission to bring them over for the event.
