Liudymyla Redka is 'happy' to be back doing what she loves
A Ukrainian mum has opened a new shop in Merseyside after her former business was destroyed during the Russian invasion.
She told the ECHO: “I lived close to the Russian border so it was a very dangerous region to be in. My town was taken over for a month. It’s very upsetting because my family still live in Ukraine so it’s been difficult. But it was a dangerous situation to be in. She said: “When I first came to Southport, I was in different jobs like cleaning but I knew I wanted to work with fabrics and curtains again, it’s my favourite thing.
