Two years on from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war is largely at a stalemate but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's troops face acute shortages of ammunition.
Ukraine's cities still come under regular Russian bombardment, thousands of lives have been lost and many more displaced across Europe.
Around 300,000 Ukrainians have applied for visas to come to the UK alone. Many more are in Poland and Germany.
Tom Cheshire speaks to international correspondent John Sparks in Kharkiv about what life is like on the ground in Ukraine now and how Ukrainians are ready to continue the fight for their country.
And we hear from Anfisa Vlasova who fled Kharkiv after the invasion to come to the UK on what life has been like here and how she and her fellow Ukrainian refugees feel about returning to their homeland.
