Ukrainian soldiers suffering psychological effects of war

Ukraine's war in the east against Moscow-supported militants is the first on the nation's territory since World War Two.

Tens of thousands of the country's citizens have served in the conflict and many now have lingering psychological wounds as a result.

Sergiy Goptarev fought for four months at the end of last year.

Since returning from the front Sergiy has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

He spoke to BBC News about the lasting effect the war has had on him.
