[quote]For all intents and purposes, the conflict in Ukraine has evolved into something closer to war. Fighting between the Ukrainian military and Russian-backed rebels from the separatist Donetsk People's Republic has been raging for almost a year, claiming the lives of [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31392473"]over 5,400 people[/URL].Many of the troops going to battle with the rebels are volunteers, some of whom VICE News [URL="https://news.vice.com/video/a-village-in-ruins-defending-daily-attacks-russian-roulette-dispatch-91"]recently met in Pisky[/URL], a village a few miles west of Donetsk airport. A good deal of the supplies keeping this lot and other Ukrainian troops going aren't coming directly from the Ukrainian government, but from a community meeting centre in West London, over 1,500 miles away.
Every weekend since July of 2014, two 32-year-old Ukrainian lorry drivers – Petro Stasiaczek and Artur Kuc – have been helping other volunteers load up their van with dozens of boxes containing vital supplies. These are driven from the London branch of the [URL="http://www.augb.co.uk/"]Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain[/URL] (AUGB) on Holland Park Avenue through France, Germany and Poland to Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk in West Ukraine. From there, volunteer Ukrainian troops will transport the supplies to the frontline in East Ukraine.

God bless 'em. I'd do the same thing in their shoes.
