Two young children who were rescued from a besieged region of Ukraine have now been waiting for weeks to join their parents in the UK, in what their father has said highlights the Home Office’s “awful” visa system.
Ethan and Emily, aged three and two, stayed in a Moldovan refugee camp for two weeks and have been sleeping in a Romanian church for nearly a week while waiting for visas, despite the fact that their mother and father, Olga and McDonald Majawala, have UK visas under the family scheme.
