Ukrainian in Scotland desperate for release of prisoner of war husband

A Ukrainian woman living in Aberdeen has pleaded for the release of her prisoner of war husband in Russia.

Oksana has lived in Scotland for the past 18 months following the Russian invasion of her country.

She is now desperate to be reunited with her husband, who was fighting for the Ukrainian army before he was captured by the Russians in Mariupol almost two years ago.

Oksana - who has not spoken to her partner since April 2022 - believes he is in a Russian jail.

She spoke with BBC News' Graham Fraser.
