A Welsh man has driven over 1,000 miles in a battered old Citroen van from Wales to Ukraine to help his wife flee the Russian invasion.
Floor-fitter Steve Lucas, 65, drove the 31-hour journey from his home in Magor, south-east Wales, to pick up his wife, Anastasia, and her cat Lucky from Lviv in Ukraine.
His 51-year-old wife, who he calls Nancy, had attempted to stay in her home as long as possible, but was "dropped into hell", Steve told BBC Radio Wales. She fled her home in Kyiv by train to reach western city of Lviv where she was reunited with Steve.
