    You expect the agent to know that?

    Are armour-piercing rounds tax deductible?

    Wanted: multilingual former soldiers willing to covertly head into Ukraine for the handsome sum of up to $2,000 (£1,523) per day - plus bonus - to help rescue families from an increasingly grim conflict.
    I do wonder what KPIs are required to be met to get the bonus...

    And these guys have to fund raise to rescue people.

    Two Scottish landscapers who travelled to Ukraine to help those seeking to flee the invasion have reportedly been "raided" by Russian troops.

    Joseph McCarthy, 55, from Falkirk, and his colleague Gary Taylor, 45, from Bonnyrigg, set off for the war-torn eastern European nation last week in their work van to provide aid to those in need.

    They've been sharing their journey via livestreams on social network TikTok under their business handle of @ready2rocklandscaping.

    To date they say they have completed two "missions" to help people get to safety - and were even asked if they supported Rangers or Celtic at a Ukrainian checkpoint as they made their way across the country.

    The pair had bought a new van to transport more people just two days ago and had been heading for the north-eastern city of Sumy, which has been under heavy shelling from Russian forces.

    A GoFundMe page launched to help cover Joe and Gary's costs of travelling to Ukraine and providing locals with supplies has raised over £17,000 to date.

    It's working for Ukraine, not for Russia. Or will you happily change sides for money?
