As the cold autumn rain drizzles down, volunteer Andrei Seletskii loads his car with humanitarian supplies.
He is now the only help getting through to the frontline villages in this part of Kherson region, but getting the food, medicine, water and warm clothing to the people there is not easy.

He said: “There is daily shelling almost every hour, because the frontline is located near Dudchany.
“It is the hottest and hardest there.
“We had the same situation around August when the frontline was in Novovorontsovka.
“We had casualties, there was a lot of destruction.”
Once his car is loaded, he starts the perilous journey.
The reports he’s getting on the road are that there is a lull in the shelling, but he needs to be quick – danger is never far away.
He drives across flat open roads.
All around him, fields of what should have been watermelons are now the boggy terrain of this conflict.
