Ukrainian family who fled to Scotland given filthy flat with old nappy in fridge

A family who fled the war in Ukraine has been housed in a dirty flat which had an old nappy in the fridge.
Valeria Liukovych, 31, brought her child, husband and severely disabled father to be with her mother Tamara.
They arrived on Sunday and were supposed to move into a council flat in Rutherglen, near Glasgow, but it was too filthy.

Stephen said: “They managed to get on a train but it was a terrifying journey, not knowing if they would be shot or bombed. Valeria was traumatised and it was an enormous struggle for her to get her little girl and father to safety.”
Stephen said the family need to be moved to be closer to him and Tamara.
He added: “They
