TWO Plymouth aid volunteers who have dubbed themselves 'soldiers without guns' are delivering supplies to a Ukrainian children's hospital which was hit by a Russian missile strike, an act which prompted an international outcry.
Andreas Evangelou and Maksym Litvinov left the city last weekend on their latest trip, taking medical supplies, veterinary equipment and food across Europe and into Ukraine.
Among their destinations is the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv, which was bombed earlier this year, and led to global condemnation. At the time, Mr Litvinov, who is originally from Kharkiv, said Vladimir Putin had 'crossed a red line' with the bombing.
Now a driver for Plymouth Citybus, Mr Litvinov is living and working in Plymouth but remains determined to help his compatriots through the aid missions.
Mr Litvinov's brother received treatment at the children's hospital when they were children, and so the latest trip is an intensely personal one.
