Ukrainian mum worried she was being scammed as UK is 'too good to be true'

A Ukrainian mum who fled the Russian invasion of her country was worried she was being scammed as life in the UK is 'too good to be true'.

Liliya Onopa moved into a bungalow created for her and her six children by a small community in Chepstow, Wales, with her three youngest children settling in well at the nearby St Mary's RC Primary School. Liliya, speaking to WalesOnline through a translator as she continues learning English, could not believe the luxuries of life in Britain and her new home in Wales.

“There are even scissors for manicures,” Liliya told WalesOnline. The community have worked tirelessly to ensure the house met the standards required to house Liliya and her boys.
