A brave man determined to make a difference has crossed the border into Ukraine to deliver armoured vehicles and military supplies to resistance fighters in the war-torn country.

Mark Cane, who lives in Stevenage, is a former member of the military and responded to a Facebook post from a Gloucestershire councillor, Alastair Chambers, appealing for help in getting vital supplies into Ukraine.

Mark said: "I spent many years in the military, so I wanted to go and help fight, but my wife wasn't keen on that. When I saw Alastair's post, I begged her to let me help and she agreed."
