UK woman paints her house the colours of the Ukraine flag in show of support
A woman has painted her house the colours of the Ukrainian flag to show her support for the war-torn nation.
Rend and husband Michael Platings spent all of Sunday (27/2) repainting the front of their semi-detached home in Cambridge blue and yellow.
Software engineer Michael said: "We've got friends in Ukraine, they're really lovely people, very brave people, and it's a very small thing we've done.
"We just wanted to express out support for them and let them know we're not forgetting about them, and they've expressed their appreciation."
Mum-of-one Rend is from Iraq so understands first-hand the horrors of living through war, and also has many friends in Ukraine.
She said: "My brothers were conscripts in the Iran-Iraq war, that was not their choice and there was a long time we were separated and I didn't know if they were alive or dead, it was very worrying.
"Most problems seem very trivial at the moment, most things are not really that bad when you sit and analyse them.
"But war is one of those things, from my experience, that the more you sit and analyse it, the more horrendous it is.
"That experience has made my heart bleed for the people in Ukraine right now who are facing this assault in their home."
