Ukraine invasion: 'My father is Russian, my brother is fighting for Ukraine'
As the invasion of Ukraine turns ever more deadly, what is life like for those with concerns for people on both sides of the conflict? People like Yulia Stark, the President of the European Women Association, who has been raising funds for humanitarian help for those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
As a Ukrainian woman married to a Belgian man with a Russian father and a brother who has gone to fight on the side of Ukraine and is now in Kyiv she says she "feels quite powerless" in the midst of war between the neighbouring nations.
"I asked Dad, 'What do you think about what's happening?' He was very quiet. (Then) he said, 'It's a long war between bigger nations, and Ukraine is just caught in the middle.'"
