Valeriy is an exceptionally polite and capable Software Engineer with skills that must be in high demand given the explosion in IOS Mobile devices and Apps. His daughter is in the same class as my Grand-daughter Freya, so it was through this connection, and my eldest son Jonny that his situation came to my attention. Valeriy’s oldest daughter has recently started Primary 1 in Edinburgh, and Valeriy has started to look for work but without the benefit of a big network of IT colleagues and friends who work in our fair City. Returning to war-torn Kharkiv (which is in Luhansk) isn’t an option – Valeriy was on Holiday with his family in Turkey when Russia invaded, so they ended up in Britain quite literally with the holiday cases they were carrying. They have been there since June living in two rooms and pondering what their next step should be. I had the pleasure of meeting Valeriy Litovchenko the other night, who is a Ukrainian IOS Software Engineer from Kharkiv currently taking refuge in Scotland with his wife and two young children in a Hotel at Edinburgh Airport.
