A filmmaker who exposed the horrifying reality of life for Ukraine’s 4 million displaced children is returning to the war zone to give them some Christmas cheer.
Emmy-nominated war reporter Shahida Tulaganova met a group of extraordinary youngsters for her ITV documentary Children of Ukraine, including 18-year-old Vyacheslav who became sole guardian to his four siblings after their mother was killed just three feet from where he stood.
Shahida, 47, grew up in Uzbekistan, a former Soviet republic, but has lived in London for 26 years and has been covering life in Ukraine since 2014, when Russian hostilities began.
