A young Edinburgh Ukrainian who was forced to sell all his musical instruments to flee war in his home country is desperate for a new start in the capital and to return to his passion of music.
Vlad is a young, incredibly talented and accomplished singer-songwriter who recently arrived in Edinburgh as a Ukrainian refugee, escaping the terror of war.
On Sunday June 26, Vlad safely flew into Edinburgh airport from Poland. The 22-year-old is now staying in temporary accommodation and going to Edinburgh College to pick up his education.
