This Morning’s vet Dr Scott reported live from a destructed location in Ukraine, amid the ongoing war with Russia, where he explained why he was there: ‘to give animals a voice’.
The TV celebrity travelled there with a charity to assist animals abandoned or left behind as humans fled the turmoil.
Dr Scott, wearing a bomb vest and hard hat, reported in front of demolished houses and wreckage, where a few stray canines were wandering around, via video link to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
Stationed 20km from the front line, Dr Scott began: ‘We are close enough to be hit by artillery fire, I’ll show you this building directly behind me which has been decimated.
‘The attacks are indiscriminate and there is a huge amount of damage, I have just been to the front line where we were delivering food aid and that’s why I’m here.
‘I’m working with a charity called Breaking The Chains, they are helping people that no one else can, they work alongside the military to provide vital food, and it’s not just food for people, of course, and the survival kits for people that exist with no electricity, no water, but it’s also the animals.
‘Some of these people have stayed in their villages, being bombarded because they couldn’t take their animals with them, and now they’re acting almost as custodians for the village’s animals.’
He continued: ‘Of course, it’s a massive humanitarian effort here, they are still needing so much, but the animals don’t have a voice and that’s why I’m here – to try and give them one’.
Dr. Scott’s visit comes after former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was rumoured to have undertaken an unauthorised visit to Ukraine.
In a statement, Mr Johnson said: ‘It is a privilege to visit Ukraine at the invitation of president Zelensky. The suffering of the people of Ukraine has gone on for too long.
‘The only way to end this war is for Ukraine to win – and to win as fast as possible. This is the moment to double down and to give the Ukrainians all the tools they need to finish the job.
‘The sooner Putin fails, the better for Ukraine and for the whole world.’
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
