KIEV (Reuters) - Marina's brother and a close family friend have both been killed on the frontline in Ukraine's east. Now she has had to say goodbye to her husband, Ruslan, called up to fight pro-Russian separatists in Kiev's latest conscription drive.

"Our family have suffered losses already. My brother died in July. (My daughter's) godfather died in September. That's why we are not afraid any more, we simply feel pain," she said, bouncing five-month-old Valeria in her arms.
