A Ukrainian family-of-nine are in a race against time to secure somewhere new to live after being turfed out of their UK home.
Following Russia 's invasion of their country, and after travelling through the war-torn nation for nine days and a further two weeks at a refugee shelter in Poland, Maksym and Olga Hyryk arrived in the UK with their five children and both their mothers on May 11, having secured a sanctuary via the Government's Homes for Ukraine scheme.
But after just weeks, and without an explanation why, they received a letter from their host family informing them that they must move out of their new home in Fareham, Hampshire, by July 15.
