A Ukrainian mum and her young daughter have managed to flee their war-torn country and seek refuge in Bothwell.
Originally married to a Scot, Natasha Kukharchuk fled from her homeland two weeks ago just as Russia began their invasion on Ukraine and found herself coming to Scotland for safety and to be close to her sister-in-law, Jill McKenna, and extended family.
The mother-of-one packed what she could and left Ukraine with six-year-old daughter Sophie, but was forced to leave behind her mum, who was too anxious to leave the country, and her brother who is required to stay and fight.
