When Andrei Toloshko heard that the UK had launched a family migration route for Ukrainian refugees last week, he thought he, with his wife and young son would be able to join his London-based brother in the UK within days.
The family had fled from their home in Kyiv on 25 February after hearing bombs in the middle of the night. After a 48 drive they crossed the border to Moldova. Without relatives there, they hoped not to be there for long.
