The horrific scenes that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine has galvanised two friends to take on a 36-hour drive to bring supplies to help victims of the war. The mission will see them drive more than 1,400 miles over the two days.
Joe Begley, 41, from Swinton in Greater Manchester, and his colleague Rob Tinning, 32, set off for Lviv on Monday night with a van-load of donations. Clothes, vital first aid equipment, baby food, and sleeping bags are among the items stacked up in the back of their van.
After delivering the supplies to people living among the warzone, the pair aim to drive back into Poland, refill the van with food and water before then returning to Lviv. Their supplies will also be used to support the millions of refugees currently trying to escape and cross the borders with Poland, Hungary and Moldova.
