A woman who fled Odesa with her nine-year-old son has told of the “terrible” journey to the Polish border after waking to sounds “like bombing” last week.

Halyna Wright, 39, lives in Odesa, Ukraine, as an assistant teacher at South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University, but headed for the border when the Russian invasion began on Thursday.
