A new humanitarian appeal to help Ukrainian soldiers suffering in underground bunkers is under way in Dumfriesshire, with the region marking the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
Throughout today, main council buildings will be flying the Ukrainian flag in solidarity and a service will be held at St John’s Church, Lovers Walk, Dumfries at 5.30pm.
It will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the nearby war memorial from 6.30pm.
