Tragic and horrific scenes in war-torn Ukraine were witnessed first hand by Dumfriesshire MP David Mundell last week.
He was given the insight as a guest of the Thornhill-based HALO Trust and has praised the de-mining missions that are saving lives in the area.
Mr Mundell has been supporting the region’s efforts to help fleeing refugees and those settling into Dumfries and Galloway since the Russian invasion.
