A veteran British soldier defending Ukraine has told how "he wouldn't be here today" if it wasn't for his Lanarkshire comrade helping him to safety during a Russian drone attack.
Former sniper Gary Bonini, from East Kilbride, has been fighting in the warzone since March and is part of the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine, which is made up of military reservists.
The 30-year-old was one of four vets targeted by a Russian drone last Monday (June 13) while carrying out a reconnaissance patrol in eastern Zaporizhzhia.
