Ukrainian lorry drivers stuck at Northamptonshire truck stop

A group of Ukrainian lorry drivers have become stuck at a service station in the UK because their fuel cards no longer work.

Since Monday the 13 men have been at Rothwell Truck Stop in Northamptonshire, which has allowed them to use showers and other facilities for free, while local people have brought food and water.

The Salvation Army and Peterborough company DanZen Logistics has been working on finding a way to refuel their vehicles to help them return home.

Relaying the words of Kyiv lorry driver Victor, volunteer and interpreter Alla Irodenko said: "They're worried sick and if they need to, they will fight in Ukraine, they will join the military groups and they will go and stand for their country."
