Martyn Bromley is all too familiar with the devastation facing the people of Ukraine every day. His daughter Iulia is in Kharkiv in the north east of the country, where much of life goes on underground.
After her home was damaged by shelling she fled to live with her boyfriend in the stricken city. Martyn, who lives in Penarth, says his daughter - at just 23 years old - is “a true hero”.
Iulia (pronounced Julia) is an ambulance worker and believes she can stay behind in Kharkiv and make a significant contribution to defending her land. But unlike Iulia, more than four million Ukrainian people have now fled their homes, and others are desperate to do the same. That’s where Martyn feels he can help too.
