"It's hard to go back to what were were three years ago," says Ukrainian living in Birmingham
Natalia arrived in the UK in 2022.
A Ukrainian woman, who moved her family to Birmingham when Russia invaded her home country, has told us she would be reluctant to go back, even if the fighting stopped today.
Yesterday (24 Feb) marked three years since the war started.
Natalia's story...
Natalia moved to Birmingham in March 2022, just after the war began.
Now, she works at the University of Birmingham and lives in the city alongside the rest of her family: "I put so much effort into socialising, getting a job and renting.
"My children have learnt another language and started school here," she said.
"It is very hard to get back to what we were three years ago"
She told us what worries her about going back to Ukraine:
"We need to understand that Ukraine has been in war for three years. Even if the war stops right now, the economy and infrastructure needs fixing.
"It is very hard to get back to what we were three years ago," she said.
Are Ukraine and Russia close to securing peace?
Sir Keir Starmer has imposed further sanctions on Russia in an attempt to force Vladimir Putin "not just to talk, but to make concessions".
The Prime Minister said US President Donald Trump has "changed the global conversation" around Ukraine, but that this provided an "opportunity", as world leaders marked the third anniversary of Russia's invasion.
He repeated calls for Ukraine to have a seat at the table for any peace talks, and for a US "backstop" to any peace agreement, which he is expected to discuss with Mr Trump when he visits Washington later this week.
