David Sharkey, 36, visited Ukraine in November to deliver aid to frontline towns and villages.
A Scots man who travelled to Ukraine to deliver aid has told how he visited a village so badly shelled it had just one building left.
Reflecting on the harrowing account, David told Edinburgh Live, David said: "People make the assumption that all of Ukraine is kind of in the same sort of state. That's not the case, when I first stopped in Ukraine we got to the hotel and it was quite a nice hotel, nothing super fancy, but the whole restaurant was still fully operational. It didn't feel like a place that was actually at war.
David soon saw a different side to the war when he was exposed to a village that had was left in ruin. The charity then visited tenements in the north of Kharkiv, where David said 'tens of thousands' of people had lived.
