Ukrainian family that fled their war torn country to Scotland were met with a filthy flat that had an old nappy in the fridge.Valeria Liukovych, 31, brought her child, husband and severely disabled father to be with her mother, Tamara, to the UK in the hopes of escaping awful conditions.But the council flat they were given in Rutherglen, near Glasgow, was a filthy pit with dirt everywhere and even had a nappy resting in the fridge.The family have had to squeeze in beside Tamara and her husband Stephen Ross instead of living out of the filthy flat offered to them on their arrival.Stephen said: "After all they have been through, I could not have allowed them to stay their first night in filth.

I was horrified when I opened the fridge and there was an old nappy in it, beside congealed milk and butter."The freezer is full of dirty water with horrible bits floating in it and the cooker is disgusting.

There are old sweet wrappers and crisps under the couch cushions."I am astounded no one thought to have the place cleaned before a family arrived here from a war."The two-bedroom apartment was assigned to Valeria, her daughter Mia, five, husband Ruslan and her stroke-victim father, Hennadiy, with stairs up to the building difficult for her father to climb.

The family fled their home in Zaporizhzhia, south-east Ukraine, before Russian troops had captured the city's nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, Daily Record reported.
