Shakhtar Donetsk might have failed to progress in the Champions League this week after losing to reigning champions Bayern Munich, but after more than a year of fighting in the country the fragile ceasefire is holding in the east, between Ukrainian forces and separatist rebels.

The conflict started in February of 2014 in what became known as the Euromaidan Protests.

During that uprising, the offices of the "All-Ukrainian Association of professional footballers" in Kiev were burnt down.

A year on how has the conflict shaped the nation? We hear Manuel Veth, an academic who specialises in Ukrainian football, but first from Sergey Belebeyev, an officer from the Football Associations International and legal affairs office and I spoke to him from their now, new headquarters.
