A Ukrainian family have been left heartbroken after callous thieves stole their dog six days after they arrived in the UK from their war-torn country. Lina and Oleksiy Litvinova, both 40, drove more than 2,000 miles for three days across 10 countries to escape the Russian onslaught.
They travelled with their two children, Ivan, 17, nine-month-old Kira plus Lina's mum Larysa, 66, and their Yorkshire terrier Ellie, who they've had since a pup. The family moved into a temporary home in Streatham, south west London, last Monday while awaiting a permanent residence.
