An East Anglian farmer is joining an aid convoy delivering donated 4x4 vehicles laden with vital supplies to Ukraine - and he has urged others to help the relief effort.
Tony Parr is making his second trip to the war-ravaged country on Wednesday, as part of the Pick-ups for Peace project.
The initiative has already delivered 22 vehicles earlier this month, towards its goal of supplying 100 used ambulances, pick-up trucks or 4x4s by the end of June.
Mr Parr farms near Lakenheath as well as on rented land in Eastern Europe including Ukraine, where he has gained a "great passion for the country and its people".
He helped buy a 4x4 which he will drive across Europe next week to Lviv, loaded with urgently-needed humanitarian supplies. Other vehicles will also be driven by people who donated them.
And Mr Parr has urged fellow farmers to join the next expedition, planned around the end of April - particularly those who have benefited from high wheat prices following Russia's invasion last year.
"This is an opportunity for East Anglian farmers to support the resilient people of Ukraine," he said.
"Our grain prices have grown because of their misery. We had a good year last year because the cereal prices were so high, so I am more than happy to give back.
"It is humanitarian aid, and we know that it is doing some good.

"The vehicle we are taking this time is from a man in Northumberland. He said it was worth £6,000 but he couldn't afford to donate it all, so I paid for half of it. There is a lot of that going on."
All donated vehicles must be roadworthy and have an MOT. Pick-ups for Peace, originally launched by Scottish potato farmers, is also delivering donated equipment ranging from quad bikes and generators to first aid kits, winter clothing and spades.
