Two Canadians with ties to the Maritimes have been teaming up to provide non-lethal supplies to Ukraine's territorial forces.
Lex Brukovskiy, a lobster fisherman from Meteghan, N.S., and Don Bowser, who grew up in New Brunswick, joined forces on Monday, with Brukovskiy providing transport from Poland into Ukraine after Bowser gathered up the gear for a delivery.
Reached on the road during their trip together on Monday, Bowser said the shipment includes electronics, radio batteries and military clothing for Ukraine soldiers. "We equip them with gear they don't have. The territorial units are in their street clothes in some case," Bowser said of his mission. "I had a vehicle, so here I am. I had two days between my last trip and my next trip. So I had yesterday and today off, and I took the opportunity to make the run to Poland and give Don a hand," the fisherman said.
