Ukraine soldiers have sent thanks to former Nottinghamshire Police officers a year after the country was invaded by Russia. Retired officers Simon Blincow and Rob Taylor delivered vital supplies to the wartorn state in December.
The pair joined a convoy of pick-up trucks and ambulances filled with electricity generators, as well as clothing, toys and other items just before Christmas last year. The generators will soon be transported to the east of Ukraine and have been kindly received.
One message sent to Simon, from a soldier in the Ukrainian army, said: “In a few days we will go to the east and give this generator to our soldiers over there. Thank you for your help.
