Sasha Makoviy wrote her daughter's name on her skin in case her family were killed fleeing Kyiv.
A mother who scrawled contact details on her two-year-old daughter's back while fleeing Ukraine has described to the BBC her desperation in that moment.
"It was the first day of the war, and we were preparing everything to flee from Kyiv and I was just not sure if it was safe," Ms Makoviy told The World Tonight on BBC Radio 4. Worried that her daughter might live but have no surviving family members, Ms Makoviy hoped that at least Vira would one day be able to look up her mother's social media accounts to know what she looked like.
