Two Ukrainian teenagers brought to the North East by a Rowlands Gill woman are adjusting to their temporary home - but say they are missing their normal lives in the now war-torn country.
Daniil Dushaiev, 15, and Kate Kozyrieva, 13, finally arrived in the Gateshead village three weeks after Daniil's sister, Slava Shumihin, flew to Poland to bring them to safety in the UK.
And the youngsters have told how their relief at being safe is tempered by their worry for the families they have left behind in Ukraine. "I miss my friends and I really miss my mum," said Daniil, while Kate is missing the family dog as well as her parents and older brother.
