A mum who fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine thought she was being scammed because her new life in the UK is "too good to be true".
The mother of six, Liliya Onopa, now lives in a bungalow created for her by a small school community in Chepstow. Her three youngest children all go to nearby St Mary’s RC Primary School, where, she she said, they are settling in well.
The cosy space had been decorated beautifully with no stone unturned. Liliya, speaking through a translator as she comes to grips with English, could not believe her luck with the plush trappings of her new home.
