Ukrainians who fled war are heading to Liverpool for Eurovision

Six Ukrainians who fled the horrors of war and are currently living as refugees in Poland are heading to enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.

The six refugees will be brought over to Liverpool by Tim Johnson, an IT Consultant based in the city who travelled to Poland earlier in the war to help those fleeing over the border from Ukraine as the Russian invasion began.

Tim's partner is Polish and the two travelled there at the start of the war. They have been back many times to volunteer and have fundraised to send thousands of pounds worth of supplies over.
