Description
Moments after wailing air raid sirens stopped short Eva Evstratenko's gymnastics class, forcing the nine-year-old into a basement for shelter, she was back on the mat, determined to keep pushing. Nearly one year after Russia invaded Ukraine, the epicentre of fighting has shifted to the east of the country and away from her home city of Kyiv. But frequent missile strikes and daily warnings of aerial attacks have disrupted routines for millions in the capital and upset Evstratenko's goal of becoming a star. "I want to become an Olympic champion. Every gymnast wants that" she says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
