Little children lined up and shot by Russian soldiers in front of horrified neighbours, says NHS worker

A brave Greater Manchester NHS worker has told of little children being lined up and shot by Russian soldiers in war-ravaged Ukraine.

The NHS staff helped orphaned children and traumatised troops who had lost their families, homes and businesses to Vladimir Putin's invasion. Marta Roscoe, 37, from Stockport, was told by a Ukrainian amputee that he was forced to watch young children being lined up and shot by Kremlin troops.

Marta, who has a four-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter, said: "It is absolutely brutal. One of the patients, Pyotr, said he saw his neighbours put in a line, including small children, and shot."
