A brave Greater Manchester NHS worker who told of little children being lined up and shot by Russian soldiers in war-ravaged Ukraine is planning to return for a second time to help train troops and hospital staff.
The NHS staff helped orphaned children and traumatised troops who had lost everything they owned and loved to Vladimir Putin's invasion.
Medic Marta Roscoe, 37, from Bolton heard terrible stories - including one Ukrainian amputee describing how he was forced to watch young children being lined up and shot by Kremlin troops.
Marta, who has a four-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter, said: "It is absolutely brutal. One of the patients, Pyotr, said he saw his neighbours put in a line, including small children, and shot."
