As the world's eyes gyre around the Ukraine crisis, Metalist Kharkiv footballer Kadeem Harris is on the phone to his family, doing his best to assure them he is safe and all is well.
Back in September, former Cardiff City winger Harris became the first Englishman to play professional football in Ukraine. Five months later, his new home is at the centre of one of the most tense stand-offs with Russia in recent history.
Harris, 28, has left his family back in the UK. He speaks no Russian and is at a club where only three members of the team's playing and coaching staff speak English.
