Ukrainian language teacher Lidiia Nicholls, 36, moved to the UK in November 2017 after marrying her husband Scott, 43, and the pair now live in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, with their young family.
Lidiia’s biggest worry is her mother Nataliya, 59. She had just been visiting her daughter for 10 days, but decided to fly back to western Ukraine as she didn’t want to be away from family that lived in the country.
“I didn’t want her to go back and I was very worried,” says Lidiia.
