Vadym is a husband and father of two daughters, living in Kyiv. This is his story.

His incredible story takes us all the way back to 2014, before hearing how he reconnected with his family at the start of the invasion, and what he is doing now to help support his brothers in the fight against Russia.

If you would like to help the people of Ukraine, please consider donating to the British Red Cross, at redcross.org.uk, which will help reach and support people in urgent need.
