Man who drove to Ukraine to rescue family told they can't come into UK

A man who drove from the UK to the Ukrainian border to rescue his wife and children has been banned from bringing them into the UK.

Vitalie Turetska, who has been working in the UK as a builder for three years, drove to the border between Ukraine and Romania to save his family when Russia started their invasion.

Vitalie has now managed to get his wife Helena and sons Danya, six and two-year-old Mapk as far as Calais in France - but has been told the family cannot come to the UK.
