Oxford expat leaves Ukraine and plans UK return
A British expat who fled his Kyiv home with his wife after the Russian invasion has left Ukraine and plans to return to his parents.
If you play other SLOTXO games in an online casino Like card games or fishing games. You may feel that the game is over early, it is easy to play for a while, the capital in the pocket is no longer there.
Wes Gleeson, from Headington in Oxford, is married to a Ukrainian woman and has lived in the country for 12 years.
They are now staying in Hungary after travelling to Moldova.
The couple has been joined by his wife's sister and her seven-year-old daughter, but his brother-in-law remains in Ukraine.
Mr Gleeson, 43, said he had to have an "unbelievably difficult" conversation with his brother-in-law after the family decided to leave Ukraine without him.
All Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60 are required to stay in the country and help with the effort to repel the Russian invasion.
Mr Gleeson's wife's parents also refused to leave Ukraine and remain there.
The group - and the Gleesons' cat - are now in Budapest following a 26-hour bus journey from Moldova and are being "pampered" by friends.
"It's kind of hard to enjoy. They've been giving us really nice wine and I have to force it down," Mr Gleeson said.
"It's nice but how can I drink nice wine when you look at the news and there are people who can't even drink water in Mariupol?
"Two colleagues in the company I used to work for have gone missing in Mariupol."
Mr Gleeson said he felt guilty when he remembered possessions that he had left behind in Kyiv.
