DISABILITY rights campaigners are urging ministers to urgently help disabled Ukrainian refugees seeking to come to Britain amid reports vulnerable people are being left behind. 

There are almost three million disabled people in Ukraine, however a lack of accessible transportation is making it difficult for them to flee the Russian onslaught, according to reports. 

Ukrainian refugee and wheelchair user Tanya Herasymova managed to escape to Poland last week with her mother, describing it as the “hardest night of my life.”
