A former British Army sniper heading into the thick of battle in Ukraine believes it is his duty to fight against "modern day Hitler" Vladimir Putin.
Retired soldier Shane Matthews, carrying 60kg of medical supplies which have already been donated to him, said he will hit the frontline to treat wounded Ukrainians and provide training for civilians rising up against Putin's forces.
But the veteran, 34, added he is more than ready to bear arms and fight if necessary.
