Silent Night: Convoy to Ukraine follows the brave volunteers of the Yorkshire Aid Convoy on their aid mission to Ukraine in 2024. The convoy travels deep into the war torn country to the capital Kyiv, where the British volunteers see the effects of war on ordinary civilians and how their aid is bringing much needed relief.

00:00There's not always somebody else. At one point in time, that somebody else has to become
00:07you.
00:11This will be our eighth convoy to Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
00:17The children there, if we don't help them, they'll be the lost generation. The war's
00:23not going away.
00:25This is an unjust place. It means they killed people.
00:30The Ukrainian people are having something inflicted on themselves through no fault of
00:33their own.
00:34It's war.
00:35Oh, this is huge.
00:36OK.
00:37The distances are vast. We drive and we drive and we drive.
00:44Do you know what? I want to do something different, make a bit of a difference, make a bit of
00:47a change.
00:48I know it makes a difference because I've seen it. I've seen the stuff that I took.
00:57It's heartbreaking that we can still feel like we can just chuck a missile up into the
01:02sky, let it kill people.
01:03The way that the strikes happen, they happen through the night, so you're never sleeping
01:08well.
01:09Very much a feeling over there that people live for the moment because we don't know
01:14what's happening tomorrow.
