A bikini model who famously sued rapper Chris Brown has become the latest foreigner to travel to war-torn Ukraine and join the struggle against Russia.
Liziane Gutierrez, who sued Brown in 2016 over an alleged altercation in Las Vegas, flew from Los Angeles to Krakow, Poland, earlier this month before crossing into Ukraine.
The Brazilian-born model, who boasts over a million followers on Instagram, is now delivering food and medicine in the besieged nation.
Ms Gutierrez was said to have received around $70,000 (£50,000) in compensation after alleging in 2016 that Brown or a member of his entourage assaulted her at a luxury party hosted by the musician.

'I decided to come too because I couldn't just watch what was happening from my house and do nothing,' she said.
'Of course I'm scared when I'm inside Ukraine, but when I help someone I feel that I'm doing the right thing.
'We take stuff to different places, like this hospital in Chervonohrad, istanbul escort some police stations in Lviv and Lutsk, and schools as well.'

Ms Gutierrez claimed that those delivering food and aid were now accompanied by police escorts after the Russian army had captured some volunteers.
But the scariest thing was the air-raid sirens, she said.
'When I hear the siren, it is super scary because we don't know exactly what to do,' she said.
'It is impossible to get used to.'
Photos and videos show Ms Gutierrez and fellow volunteers loading up supplies in a car, ready for distribution in Ukraine.
Further images show her with donated goods in a Lviv warehouse, and posing with a rescued family who had crossed into Zosin, Poland.

She continued: 'The Ukrainian people see us volunteers as heroes.
'Sometimes I feel like crying when I see families breaking apart - men over 18 years old can't get out of Ukraine.
'I see all the time families with just a backpack and the documents in their hands leaving everything behind.

'But we can't cry, we are here to give support to these families.'
It's unclear how many foreigners have travelled to Ukraine to assist in a humanitarian capacity.
However, in an update on March 6, the Ukrainian government said it had received 20,000 applications from foreigners looking to fight against Russia.
