Anastasiia first visited London in 2005, when she was part of a school choir who came on a trip here. She didn't think her next visit to the city would be as a result of fleeing war in her home town, Kyiv.
By Ross Miklaszewicz & Adriana ElguetaEight million Ukrainians have been displaced across Europe as a result of Russia's invasion, with families being torn apart.
One such family was Celia and Steve Quarterain from Leyton, east London. They took in Anastasiia Medolyz, her husband and their six-year-old son. After touring London and Yorkshire as a teenager with her school choir, her thoughts often turned to when she would return to the UK, but looking back now, she says she "couldn't have imagined I'd ever be here for this reason".Ms Medolyz had only just begun a new media job in Kyiv when her husband urged the family to flee the city and head west.
Having escaped Ukraine, it took the family three weeks to find a volunteer who could reunite her grandmother with Ms Medolyz's mother safely back in Kyiv.
