As merciless Russian troops invaded the country, one terrified British woman has told how she was forced to leave her partner behind in war-torn Ukraine.
Rebecca Jackson made the gruelling 1,000-mile dash back to the UK from Ukraine with her rescue dog Lucas while girlfriend Yulia stayed behind.
She only had £6 to her name on her desperate journey out of Ukraine - but the pair have successfully made it back to her parents’ home in Kent from the city of Lviv, the historic capital of western Ukraine.
