Hundreds of miles from the front lines, in western Ukraine, Dana Lahunovych still feels the daily strain of Ukraine's war against Russia.

She, like many other Ukrainians, has family living or fighting in cities on the front lines of Russia's full-scale assault on Ukraine.

In Lahunovych's case, her 38-year-old daughter and son-in-law are serving in the Ukrainian military in some of the hardest-hit regions of the conflict, including the Donbas region in the east and the port city of Mariupol.
