A Ukrainian refugee who fled her homeland to escape the war has spoken exclusively to Lanarkshire Live about her terrifying plight.
Natasha Kukharchuk and her six-year-old daughter, Sophie, packed up and left just as Russia began their invasion on Ukraine, fleeing for their lives and still completely unsure of what lies ahead.
Now, as Natasha tries her best to settle into life in Bothwell with her sister-in-law, Jill McKenna, and extended family, she is determined to do what she can to help those stuck in Ukraine, who face daily challenges and uncertainty amidst Russian warfare.
