A DESPERATE plea has been issued for generators to be donated so they can be taken to Ukraine by two Plymouth aid volunteers, with Russia targeting energy infrastructure.
Andreas Evangelou and Maksym Litvinov have between them made 11 trips to aid those affected by war in Ukraine, and they are preparing their 12th now.
Among the latest items which are most needed in Ukraine are generators which can be used to provide light and heat during blackouts, which are the result of the latest Russian tactics.
Mr Evangelou said even smaller hospitals and clinics are suffering from power blackouts, even in the west of Ukraine near to the border with Poland.
"With Putin bombing all of the infrastructure they are without lights and without heating," he said.
"Lutsk, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk they are all near the Polish border, he's not letting up on anyone.
"He needs to break their morale, and for the Ukrainian people to say they have had enough and that they are prepared to cede territory, and he's breaking some but not others.
