A team of volunteer medics has arrived on the Polish-Ukrainian border "keen to get in and be part of the solution" to help those injured in the conflict.

Five medics from UK-Med, a frontline medical aid charity based in Manchester, are looking to establish a field hospital to help refugees.

Operations director Tom Godfrey said "being able to move around as the situation evolves is important".

He said: "Increasingly we expect to see trauma injuries and battle wounds."

The team hopes to get as far east in Ukraine as possible from Lviv towards Vinnytsia "to be able to be active where the needs are greatest," Mr Godfrey said.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
