A Scots garage owner with no military experience has joined the foreign legion defending Kyiv from Russian attack.
Adam Ennis, from Biggar, Lanarkshire, has signed up for an international platoon that is newly embedded in the Ukrainian capital as it is encircled by Russian troops.
The 35-year-old spoke to the Daily Record from his position in the city yesterday - and revealed that he escaped death after leaving a base near the Polish border days before it was destroyed by Russian bombs.
