Ukraine has been at war with Russia for over three years.

The conflict started on February 24 2022, when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of the country.

The war has had a huge impact on the people living in Ukraine, including millions of children. Many children stayed in the country, while others fled to safety abroad - some to the UK.

As the country prepares to enter its fourth year of fighting, we want to know if you have any questions that you would like to put to a panel of experts for a special visualised podcast Newsround is making in partnership with BBC Ukrainecast.

BBC Ukrainecast looks into the biggest issues surrounding the conflict, and this special programme will focus on what life is like for the children of Ukraine and how war has shaped their childhoods.

It will be recorded in November with an audience of over 100 British and Ukrainian children and will be a chance for kids all over the UK to find out more about the war.

The podcast will be hosted by the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire and will include a panel of experts made up of Newsround's Ricky Boleto, BBC Ukraine Correspondent James Waterhouse and Ukrainecast's Vitaly Shevchenko.
