I find it hard to watch the news just now but huge kudos to all involved in this effort. If our government had 1 ounce of the compassion shown by Stevie et al our world would be a safer and much more humane place.

Stevie Carr and Dnipro Kids have just been mentioned in the House of Commons today.

I had the Parliament tv channel on in the background so I only got the gist of what was said. Pete Wishart, Stevie's constituency MP, explained what Stevie has been doing, and asked the Leader of the House during business questions if all remaining bureaucracy could be removed so that the orphans can get to Scotland.

Pete has already written to Patel but has not yet received a reply. The Leader undertook to follow this up and ensure Pete gets a speedy response.

Brilliant. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed indeed...💚

Brilliant news that the word is getting out there and can only be good for the kids. But, you can't help but feel anger and frustration with the UK government and the snails pace they are moving at...

Top job from the Dnipro team.👏💙💛

Just noticed this. That's great news.

BBC Scotland news are covering the story and have a journo waiting on the Polish side of the border. None of the Kids will have passports so might prove a stumbling block due to the Tory government being slow to react to the fluid situation.

Well done Stevie and all concerned.

Hibs fans were mentioned in the BBC Scotland report.

Superb absolutely superb

[18Craig75]

Absolutely brilliant. Now for the rest of them 🤞-

I really hope one day they can all be welcomed at Easter Road. They all look so happy, amazing considering what they must’ve been through already in their short lives.

Well done to all involved with Dnipro Kids, a real good news story from a dire situation.

[Bostonhibby]

Brilliant, a wee bit light in a very dark tunnel, Heroes, everyone involved.

Ain't that the truth. Absolute contrast from the huge compassion and selflessness shown by Stevie and all others involved. Fantastic work.

[ronaldo7]

Great news. Well done all. ✅

[The_Exile]

What an effort by everyone involved. Really does bring home how precious life is. So happy for the kids.

Really hope we can somehow get them to Scotland without all the red tape.

[hibsbollah]

I watched the report and Stevies interview on the news and I felt a real sense of pride and gratitude to everyone involved.

Just fantastic.

[cocopops1875]

Breaking news there’s been explosions in Dnipro.

Doing Gods work getting those kids out 🙌🏼

Last nights news brought tears to my eyes, seeing those kids and Stevie being safe and over the border! Well done all involved

Inspiring stuff and I’ll be surprised if guys involved in making this happen don’t see the children as the real heroes. They and all of their county people have been pitched in to a world of fear and danger yet put their trust i a group of strangers to help them to safety. It is a story that will rightfully follow everyone involved through their lives. Every one a hero amongst a country of heroes.

This may be a wee story within the bigger picture but all the wee stories add up to make the bigger picture. It is our reaction to these stories that separate us from that narcissistic megalomaniac anus.

[Green Man]

I’ve just watched the clip from last night’s news. Stevie and the rest of the volunteers are absolute heroes. Seeing those kids’ happy faces, after what must have been a torturous time for them, shows what great work Dnipro Kids are doing, and how strong those kids are. Massive well done to everyone involved.

[GloryGlory]

I watched the news clip and read all the info on here.

Is it too early or presumptuous to suggest that Stevie and the Dnipro Kids organisation should be inducted as honorary members of Hibs Hall of Fame? This story should go down in the annals of our history alongside all the great teams, players and games.

Great shout and hope it happens. The guy is a legend.

Great shout and there’s not a cause more deserving of such an honour.

The work they’ve done for the kids of Dnipro is really quite humbling.

[Pretty Boy]

Genuinely in awe of the work that has gone on over the years in supporting these kids and particularly so in the last couple of weeks. If myself or my family ever found ourselves in such a situation I really hope a community of people I've never met from thousands of miles away show the same compassion and empathy.

The support from both the Hibs community and football rivals alike is quite special. All the noise, the moaning and the bickering is part and parcel of a forum, social media or a trip to the pub but when it really matters you see the good in people. I can only hope in the not too distant future we are fundraising to get these kids back home.

[Billy Whizz]

Well done everyone involved, amazing to see

[Mick O'Rourke]

What is sadly unfolding now in Dnipro and the suffering thats going on throughout the Country of Ukraine is nothing short of barbarism.
There are now millions of Ukranians in neighbouring Countries who may never see their homes again.

But in one,no small effort in the mass of all this, a group of caring people from our fair land, with courage,selflessness and gut determination may well have saved, and most certainly changed the lives of some who have had more than their share of suffering.

I salute them all

There's class, there's first class, and there's Dnipro Kids class !!

Slava Ukraini !!

[CyberSauzee]

Just saw the report on the BBC 6 o'clock news. Well done guys, simple succinct answer to the question of what the government needs to do to allow Ukrainians into the UK - do it quickly and make it easy.
