Ukrainian family's anguish as they are forced to leave daughter's boyfriend behind as they flee to Scotland

A Ukrainian family who have fled to Scotland due to the conflict with Russia have been left "devastated" after having to leave a member of their household behind.

Alina Konstantinova, 37, and husband Roman, 40, were living in Crimea with daughter Oleksandra, 17, and sons Yan, five, and three-year-old Martin, when they decided to flea Eastern Europe due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The family moved via the Homes for Ukraine scheme, which was launched in March. It allows people living in the UK to sponsor a named Ukrainian national or family to come to live in the UK with them, as long as they have suitable accommodation to offer.
