Ukrainian sisters cry tears of joys and hail 'miracle' family who open up their home

Two sisters from Ukraine have praised a "miracle" family from Yorkshire who opened up their home and welcomed them in.

Kateryna and Daryna, both fled Kyiv as soon as the war with Russia broke out at the end of February. Kateryna, 28, had to walk out of Kyiv as soon as Russian troops made their advance while Daryna, 33, and her four-year-old son Yuroslav had to catch a bus out of their small town close to the capital.

Since running away, they have been stranded in Lublin, a Polish city close to the Ukrainian border, YorkshireLive reports.. But now a family has come forward to help them, allowing Kateryna and Daryna to soon catch a train across Europe and move in with their Yorkshire hosts.
