British lawmaker accompanied to Ukraine to transport emergency supplies, suffered a Russian drone attack, five members of his team were killed, a lawmaker survived

The British media on October 13 that a local lawmaker in West Yorkshire described his experience of being hit and survived a missile attack while carrying out a humanitarian aid mission in Ukraine as "uncomfortable and restless."

John Lawson was attacked by a Russian drone while traveling to Lviv last month as a member of an aid convoy to deliver emergency supplies.

The incident killed five people, including four members of a family, but Lawson and his fellow brother survived.

Coxley, the leader of the Liberal Democratic group, said: “It’s hard to be afraid when you’re in a crowd of people with a strong will.”

"They were fearless and participated in the war of resistance in a normal way," he said. "The mere daily act of getting up in the morning and working as usual is itself a kind of struggle."

The picture shows several rescuers wearing protective clothes operating around the destroyed house, laying in a pile of rubble, cleaning bricks and other debris.

Leader of the Lviv region Maxim Kozitsky said it was the largest attack in the region since Russia launched a comprehensive invasion of Ukraine in 2022, saying the local consensus was about 163 drones and missiles.

Lawson and seven other volunteers delivered fire hoses, generators, medical supplies, walking frames and crutches.

They also provided bedding clothing, hand-knitted teddy bears, tools, two ambulances, two four-wheel drive vehicles, a pickup truck and a four-wheeled motorcycle.

Mr. Lawson said: "The equipment we brought was obviously warmly welcomed. This is not only about the aid we carry, but also about human connection and solidarity, proving that the world has not forgotten this place."

During the two-day mission to Lviv, organised by Anglo-Ukrainian Aid and charities, the delegation also took part in the literary festival event, donating works by the author Michael Delapan, a veteran member of the Huddersfield Ukrainian Club.

This book, Homeland Beyond Hometown, records the history of the Ukrainian community in Huddersfield for seventy years. According to the local * Reporting Service, the book will be collected in the local library and distributed to supporters and activists involved in civilian work.
