“Yesterday I flew into GdaƄsk and met the Governor of Pomerania to hear about the work that has been going on in his region. He particularly praised the UK for their generous help with aid.”

Earlier this week, ambulances entered Ukraine containing aid from Carlton and Netherfield.

Regulars at pubs in both towns made the donations, with over 100 bags of essential items being collected for those hiding from Russian shelling.
