A Manchester man is among thousands of refugees stranded at a Ukrainian border post as people flee the Russian invasion.
Jez Myers, 44, and his girlfriend Maria Romanenko, 29, spent ten hours driving in a friend's Vauxhall Astra from the under-fire capital Kiev to Lviv in the west then to Shehyni at the border with Poland.
Jez, a business consultant from Reddish, has described growing tensions as the queue to cross into Poland increased to 'tens of thousands', with some chanting 'open the door' in a desperate bid to exit Ukraine.
