Dorset pub landlord reaches Ukraine with minibus of aid

A pub landlord has arrived in Ukraine with a minibus of aid after a 1,000-mile (1,600km) journey from the UK.

Former Royal Marine Tom Littledyke, 31, set off from Lyme Regis in Dorset on Monday.

After dropping supplies in Poland, he said he made the "terrifying" drive over the border to Lviv in western Ukraine.

He is now using his 16-seater minibus to ferry people from the city's train station back to the Polish border.
