Nearly 50 Ukrainian orphans headed to refuge in the U.K. wait in Poland until a bureaucratic holdup can be dealt with
Dozens of Ukrainian orphans and their caregivers who are headed to refuge in the U.K. were stuck Tuesday in Poland due to missing paperwork from Ukraine.
Their journey has been organized by a Scottish charity called Dnipro Kids, which was set up in 2005 by supporters of Hibernian Football Club in the Scottish capital Edinburgh.The effort to offer them temporary refugee until the war is over has the support of the British government. Sally Becker, executive director of the foundation Save a Child, which is helping with the evacuation, said the delay was due to a document that hadn’t been provided by Ukrainian authorities, and emerged just as the group was on the way to the airport.
