A mum and daughter who fled the war in Ukraine in the hope of finding safety with their only contacts in Europe who are in the UK have described the humiliation they faced at the French-UK border.
Alena Semenova, a 22-year-old medical student, and her mother Tetyana Tsybanyuk, 40, from Kyiv are trying to get to the UK where they have been offered safety with Alena's godparents Graham and Alla Blackledge, who live in Glasbury-on-Wye, near Brecon.
They left their home on February 24, embarking on a dangerous, gruelling journey across Ukraine and then through Europe to reach Calais, and hoping to ultimately arrive in Wales.
