Ukraine: British man living in Poland opens home to refugees escaping war-torn homeland

A British man living in Poland has opened his home to Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn homeland.

The United Nations have confirmed that over one million people have now fled the country since Russia’s invasion and many are crossing the border into Poland.

Patrick Ney, a British-born Polish national, has taken in three refugees off the street, providing them with shelter after their “exhausting” journey.

“They’re welcome in my home,” he said.
