Just a few weeks ago, Ukrainian tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky was playing the final match of his career at the Australian Open.
After nearly 20 years on the tour, the 36-year-old announced his retirement in January, ready to spend more time with his wife and three children.
Instead, and despite no military experience, Sergiy has enlisted in the Ukrainian military reserves to defend his country against its invasion by Russia.
We caught up with Sergiy from his home city of Kyiv, to talk about his decision and what life is like there currently.
A sobering, but important listen.
