'We want to stay in Scotland having fled Ukraine'
More than 28,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Scotland since the Russian invasion three years ago.
In the coming months, many of those will be applying for an extension scheme to allow them to remain for another 18 months.
Husband and wife Anatolii and Lidiia Kyrylov - who are 69 and 73 - were among those forced to flee the city of Mariupol.
They resettled in Aberdeen and - no longer having a home to go back to - hope to stay.
The couple had spent most of their lives in Mariupol, in south-east Ukraine. That all changed after the trading port came under siege in early 2022.
When they reached the safety of a Ukrainian checkpoint, an emotional Anatolli said there was "so much happiness, so much tears, you cannot imagine", and they fell to their knees.
After they both got visas, they travelled to the UK, and their sponsor brought them to their new home.
