The Scottish man who went to fight for Ukraine

By Sky News

One year ago, 25-year-old Douglas, who lived on his parents' farm in southwest Scotland and fixed tractors for a living, packed his bags and went to war.

He joined thousands of volunteers from around the world who signed up to fight for Ukraine.

Now back in Scotland, Sky’s national correspondent, Tom Parmenter, goes to see him, and his parents Sheena and Derek, to find out why he went, and the impact his decision had on him, and his family.
