A businessman has put plans to open a bar on hold so he can help refugees flee war-ravaged Ukraine. Brian Phillips wants to help ferry those in desperate need from the west of the country to the Polish border several times every day.
Trained chef Brian Phillips and friend Simon Robinson, from Bristol, have secured a minibus to help transport refugees from Lviv - the largest city in western Ukraine and the sixth-largest city in the country - to safety on the Polish border.
The vehicle will also be used to take donations to help those affected by the devastating situation in Ukraine. An online fundraiser to help the duo with the selfless mission has so far raised more than £3,000, and has a target of £5,000, DevonLive reports.
