'Greater Manchester will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes': Andy Burnham's message as grim milestone in war reached
It's been 500 days since Russia invaded Ukraine - on February 24, 2022. The grim milestone comes as the death toll continues to rise.
Award-winning writer Victoria Amelina, who had left her family to bravely document purported war crimes in her country, also died after succumbing to the injuries she sustained in the attack. Back in May, Liverpool hosted the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine. The event sent a defiant message to Russia - showcasing the solidarity of the links between the UK and Ukraine.
This comes as UK Med, a charity based in Stockport that Greater Manchester can be so proud of, continue to deliver medical aid across Ukraine. The charity's lifesaving work includes setting up health clinics across the country for people uprooted by the conflict, and surgical field hospitals to treat those on the frontline.
