A charity sourcing vehicles for the frontline named Car4Ukraine.com are asking car dealers to help them find used cars which will support Ukrainian troops.
They are appealing for pick-ups to rescue civilians to help combat Russian troops, and some farmers have already provided Ukraine with suitable vehicles.
They are asking for suitable models of pick-up trucks, which include the Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Navara and Ford Ranger and they will then be retrofitted with armour plating and machine guns.

He added, “The cars are used for a number of purposes on the frontline.
“It could be to rescue civilians or it could be to launch attacks on the Russians. Some of our cars have destroyed tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
“One, last week, even shot down a Russian cruise missile.”
