A Scottish man has staged an eye-catching protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine - by camping in his blue and yellow Tesla outside the Russian Consulate in Edinburgh.
David Fraser has slept for seven days in his electric car, painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, in the capital's west end. The freelance business consultant and dad of five decided to stage his highly prominent protest ten months on from Vladimir Putin's incursion into the Eastern European nation.
As well as carrying the colours of the flag, his Tesla Model 3 is embossed with the slogan "Free Ukraine" and has spent the last week playing Ukrainian tunes from its external speakers. Speaking to the Record's sister site Edinburgh Live, David said people were "bored" of Russia's attempts to claw back the former Soviet nation, adding that he wanted to make a statement against the invasion.
