A Ukrainian refugee who has been helping others escape the war-torn country has faced an alleged homophobic attack in Scotland. Nick Jeorg, aged 22, is a volunteer and journalist with Help Ukraine Scotland (HUS) who arrived in the UK on April 26.
Nick has already helped evacuate two other LGBT+ individuals from Ukraine as the community comes under intense threat during the Russian invasion, but he says he has now faced discrimination while living in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Live reports.
On his way to Sainsbury's on Nicolson Street at around 9.30pm on Thursday, June 30, he alleges he was subjected to an unprovoked and terrifying homophobic attack from a man who was leaving the shop.
