Many have left their homes, families and relatives to take part in a war against Kremlin-backed insurgents in eastern Ukraine. Following Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea in March and subsequent invasion of country's Luhansk and Donetsk regions, almost 500,000 Ukrainians have been displaced. 

Ukrainian women also participate in fighting against Russia's invasion in Ukraine. Some left their jobs and children in order to be on the frontlines of war.
