"I'm afraid for future of Europe" says Lincolnshire Ukrainian on War Anniversary
Kateryna Buchatska fled Iprin near Kyiv when the war broke out and now lives in Grantham
Ukrainians across Lincolnshire are sharing their hopes, fears and frustrations on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion.
The war, which Russia expected to be short, is believed to have now caused over a hundred billions dollars worth of damage, with the number of people killed or wounded exceeding one million.
We've been speaking to Kateryna Buchatska - a young doctor who fled Kyiv when the war broke out, and now lives in Grantham.
I'm afraid for the future of Europe as well, as now we see nobody helps you if Putin decides to invade further
She told us:
"I feel very sad, of course, as all Ukrainians do as we were hoping the scenarios of war would be fair.
"When we are small everyone taught us always good wins over evil."
It should be like that, but now we see different."
"We see that that second world war didn't teach us anything, people just repeat the same mistakes
" I'm afraid for the future of Europe as well, as now we see nobody helps you if Putin decides to invade further."
I've never met anyone who doesn't want us here, and we feel here very comfortable and at home
"It's even worse than the first day of the war, because the first day we were scared, of course, we were full of tears, but we were full of hope that this will finish fair.
"Sometimes I feel like February doesn't finish yet for all Ukrainians. This horrible start of the war reaches in all our heads forever. This day is the most difficult."
"We couldn't stop our life while war is going on, its impossible life is going on. We are thankful for British people that remind us of that, and their example shows us that it's really important to continue our education, for Ukrainians in Ukraine.
"For us it means a lot because we feel in each corner this help and this support, and I've never met anyone who doesn't want us here, and we feel here very comfortable and at home."
Karen Marlor runs the Ukrainian support services at the Jubilee Life Centre in Grantham and housed Kateryna and her mother when they first came to the UK.
She says: "It's so important to try and give people a focus of something to live for."
"They're living a double life really - they desperately want to be home with the rest of their family and friends."
