A Ukrainian mum who fled her war-torn country for a new life in Scotland has been delayed on her journey after her three-year-old son was admitted to intensive care with chronic health issues.
Nadia Kolomoiets, 39, and her son, Vladimir, three, were taking shelter in a basement in the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk Oblast region during the Russian invasion when Nadia met Rita, a doctor from Leith in Edinburgh, via a Facebook group.
The 32-year-old offered to host the family if they managed to escape, which they did, making their way to Poland in early April to figure out their next steps.
