Love in London: Forging love amid war

London is a city of nine million people, and love blooms all across the capital.

Every week Salma El-Wardany speaks to a different London couple about their love story. How they met, where, when, and what it all means to them - and we'll also hear some music they've chosen that's been important to their relationship.

Kostiantyn and Andrii found love amid difficult and forbidding circumstances in their native Ukraine. First, there was the pressure of intolerance, with same sex marriage being illegal and gay relationships being frowned upon. Then, when the war with Russia broke out, they decided to leave their home, and make a new life in London. This is their love story.
