Ukrainian refugee families who have worked hard to build lives for themselves in south east Wales after arriving in the country from their war-torn homeland last year have been moved more than 170 miles away because of a lack of suitable accommodation for them.
Families have spoken to WalesOnline about their frustration over having to take their children out of school, leave their jobs and start new lives once more away from friends, while staying in caravans which they are paying a weekly administration charge for.
The families said they were told to leave a Welsh Government-procured hotel in Monmouthshire in May and were moved to a caravan park in Denbighshire 170 miles away as the government looks to close its hotels acting as welcome centres for refugees who arrived from Ukraine last year.
