Two Ukrainian sisters have been reunited and now live next door to each other in Bristol

Two Ukrainian sisters have been reunited and now live next door to each other in Britain - thanks to the help of generous neighbours. Siblings Olya Protsuik, 37, and Iryna Stanier, 34, have moved in side by side in Bristol.

Iryna was already living in the UK with husband David Stanier, 33, after moving here in 2014 to study a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at University of Bristol. But she became desperate when Russia invaded Ukraine - and wanted to help her sister and family escape.

The property next door had become empty after its owner was moved into care by his family - and she mentioned her plight to them. She told then about her sister Olya, her husband Vova Protsuik, 38, and their twins Dasha and Danya, both 15, and daughter Vira, six.
