Local Man On The Ground In Ukraine Provides An Update On His Experience

Zach England, from Little Britain, landed in Poland on March 7 to join the International Legion of Territorial Defence, and help defend Ukraine against Russian invasion.

Currently England is on a train from Odessa to Lviv with two children, who’s father asked him to accompany them while they meet up with family members.

The children, who England thinks are about 13 and 14, were with their father who is now actively fighting so they are going to stay with family members.

Once he drops them off safely England is meeting the rest of his volunteer group in Lviv.

“The situation is not good,” he said. “It’s the same all over, not enough weapons and aid materials to properly fight or resist.”

In a post to his personal Facebook he assured family and friends that he was ok, and put a call out for donations.

Donations made to him directly would help purchase things like medical supplies for himself and civilians.
