The Ukraine refugee crisis - "we just want them home with us"

Sabrina and Tony Edge, from Driffield in East Yorkshire, are ready to open their home to a Ukrainian family who they've been connected online via a matching scheme.

Not so long ago, Liliia Malona was making Valentine's Day decorations with her pupils at her school in Ukraine. The English teacher, her husband Vitaly and their two daughters Victoria - aged 16 and 6 year old Ilona - have now fled west to the Ukraine-Moldova border. The hope is that before too long, they will be able to come to the UK - and more specifically to Driffield in East Yorkshire. Waiting to welcome them are Sabrina and Tony Edge. The two families have been connected online via a matching scheme. And on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Breakfast they shared their hopes that soon they will be together under one roof. This is 5 Minutes On - The Ukraine refugee crisis - "we just want them home with us".
