Following months of brutal occupation by Russian forces, Ukrainians are still refusing to be beaten down. With many areas now liberated, people are sharing stories of trauma and hardship, hope and survival.
For months, fighting has raged between Ukrainian and Russian forces in Kharkiv. Volodymyr was a maths teacher before the war, and has had to come to terms with his life being turned upside down.
Since the early days of the war, Kharkiv has been a target of Russian bombardment. Many residents have fled the shattered city; those that have remained have been fighting to retain a sense of normality.
Since the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than a hundred thousand volunteers have taken up arms against the aggressor. These civilians are playing an important role in the fight for Ukraine.
Ever since war broke out in Ukraine, men have been mobilised to fight for their country. Many Ukrainian women have had to leave alone with their children, and the men who have escaped are forced to live with guilt.
Despite the ceaseless violence in Ukraine, elements of normal life still continue for those civilians who remain in the country. For one Ukrainian couple, this means marrying in a warzone, in the Kharkiv metro.
In the vicinity of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, the village of Lukyanivka has just been liberated after a month of Russian occupation. But the fighting has left enormous destruction in its wake.
As war rages in Ukraine, thousands of people face the decision of whether to stay in their homes or to escape to the border. The mass exodus has caused massive traffic jams and petrol restrictions as many try to flee to safety.
