A Ukrainian soldier who nearly died after being injured in a Russian shell attack has travelled to Kent for treatment.

Dmytro is one of the first Ukrainian soldiers to receive NHS treatment in England since Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago.

After a letter from Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust outlining the care he would receive under the NHS, the Ukrainian military allowed him to fly to the UK in January.

He is now living in Kent with his wife Maryna and young daughter Diana, who came to the UK as refugees in 2022.
