From Ukraine to the UK: Polina's Story | Newsround

#Newsround #Ukraine #Russia #WarInUkraine
It's now thought that more than 10 million people, including two million children, have had to leave their homes in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country at the end of February.
Ukrainians have been trying to find safety in neighbouring countries such as Poland and Moldova, as well as travelling further to countries such as Germany and the UK.
The UK Government has promised to give hundreds of thousands of people shelter and support in this country and lots of people have offered Ukrainian refugees a place to stay in their homes, but there's also been criticism that the current rules can make it a long and difficult process for Ukrainians to be allowed to come to the UK.
Jenny has travelled to Poland to meet Ukrainian children hoping to come to the UK. She met 15-year-old Polina, her 5-year-old sister, Taisiia, and their mum, Svetlana, who were making the journey here to find a new life.
