A Scottish mum is going abroad for the first time in her life – on a mission to deliver essential supplies for Ukrainian mums stuck in the war-ravaged nation.
Chris Murphy, 49, and volunteer Oleg Dmitriev will share driving duties between Edinburgh and the Eastern European country as they drive with a stock of "baby backpacks" to north-eastern city Kharkiv. A maternity unit in the city is awaiting the delivery.
Working with Scottish charity Sunflower Scotland, which is providing support to people affected by the Russian invasion, the pair have created 40 specially prepared backpacks filled with brand new baby supplies. Many new and expectant mothers are stuck in remote villages undergoing heavy barrages from Vladimir Putin's forces.
