Brit dad reunited with wife and baby in Ukraine with 'tea in hand' after rescue mission
dad has been reunited with his wife and son after launching a daring rescue mission to reach them in Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.28-year-old Ian Umney, from St Helens, Merseyside, had been an English teacher and a courier but left his job in a desperate bid to reach his Ukrainian wife Nelia and son Jonathan, two. Speaking on a TikTok video, Ian said last week: "I cannot sit here, while my wife and son are in Ukraine, and watch the freedom and safety of Ukraine be threatened by Putin."I took four days of stress, upset, hurt, and anger but now I have packed my bag, planned, written my letters."I’m now on the way to reunite with my family by whatever means."He went viral after news of his rescue attempt spread, and on Sunday he flew from Manchester to Krakow, Poland, before crossing the Ukrainian border in the early hours of Monday.
