Scots cop in tears fearing for family’s life after Ukraine turned ‘apocalyptic’

A Scots policeman has been left in tears fearing for his family’s safety after Russia's invasion of Ukraine left the country "apocalyptic".
Valera Chobitko, who lives in Melrose, is terrified for his loved ones' lives as Russia invades their city, Kharkiv.
The 37-year-old moved to Scotland three years ago from Bristol after coming to the UK in 1996.

The four adults and schoolboy are currently holed up in a two bedroom small block of flats near Zhasminovyj street which is under heavy siege.
There are close to 90 other families in their building who shelter together in the basement during air raids and store their water in baths and buckets.
Valera's brave uncle, also named Valera, has been leaving the flat only to ‘hunt’ for food as supplies are drying up and said he feels like he is in TV series 'The Walking Dead'.
The family have been hiding together away from windows when they hear explosions or gunfire in a desperate bid to protect themselves.
Now Valera, who works for Police Scotland, has choked back tears to tell the Daily Record about the ‘horror film’ experience his relatives face and how worried he is for his loved ones.
He said: “I just need my family to survive. This is so surreal and shocking, I can’t believe it.
“I’m constantly checking my phone and hoping they are okay. My mother, Victoria, can’t sleep, we are all so worried.
“The city looks apocalyptic right now, my uncle said it looks like something out of The Walking Dead.
“My family can hear shots and explosions outside and are just staying together behind concrete walls for safety.
“We just do not know what is going to happen to
