A 15-year-old Ukrainian refugee is being denied a visa to come to Scotland – but government officials are allowing her pet guinea pigs in.
Nataliia Zavhorodnia could be forced back to the warzone alone next month if the Home Office doesn’t approve her entry into the UK, where she’s been matched with a couple in Hamilton.
She fled the horrors of the Russian invasion of her homeland along with her aunt Millena Kornieieva – whose visa has been approved.
