A Ukrainian woman who arrived in the UK as a refugee said she hoped her guided tours of Liverpool during Eurovision would help people 'de-stress'.

Maria Romanenko, 30, a journalist, fled Kiev with her British partner Jez Myers at the start of the Russian invasion last year.

Since arriving in the UK, she has used her fluency in English to help other Ukrainians settle in the UK.

It is now planning to run free cultural tours in Ukrainian in Liverpool.

"It is important to keep cultural events going as it brings some normality in people's lives," she said.

"It allows people to relax a bit."
