Ukrainian refugees: 'Dancing brings my girls happiness'

Two sisters who fled Ukraine following the invasion by Russia have found happiness through dancing, their mum has said.

Zlata, 11, and Zina, aged seven, have impressed judges with their skills and won several competitions since moving from Kyiv to Fleckney in Leicestershire.

Their mum Viktoriia said continuing their passion for dancing had improved her daughters' confidence and helped them to settle into their new lives.

"It's the reason for their happiness," she added.
