The Honeytrap Resistance: Women who lure Putin's soldiers to their deaths with ... trends now
At first glance, Andrii is a typical university student. Aged 21, he has a mop of fair hair, blue eyes and a gentle smile. Unlike most students, however, he has been risking torture and death behind enemy lines, smuggling out secret intelligence to the Ukrainian resistance.
Andrii was born and brought up in Mariupol, the port city that was besieged and then invaded by Russia in the first two months of the war in early 2022.
The brave Ukrainian soldiers who remained in the city's steelworks for weeks under terrifying bombardment came to embody the nation's defiance against overwhelming firepower.
A true patriot, Andrii couldn't sit by while his country collapsed. So, unarmed and with just a smartphone, he began photographing documents, buildings and locations that he felt would be useful for the Ukrainian armed forces.
From August 2022 he became aware of a secure social media channel on which he could send his information to the Ukrainian army, barely 100 miles away with rocket launchers trained on his home city.

He then began locating and photographing enemy barracks and troop movements, along with weapon and ammunition stores.
This vital information was used to kill Russian troops and wipe out enemy equipment using missiles, drones and artillery shells.
Andrii is just one of tens of thousands of brave men and women who have risked their lives in what many abroad call the 'Occupied Territories' – but which Ukrainians prefer to call the 'Temporary Occupied Territories'.
About 20 per cent of Ukraine's land, mostly in the far east of the country, is under Russian control.
Millions of people are forced to live under the iron rule of their occupiers, who keep order through the threat of imprisonment, torture and even execution.
Aged 19 at the time of the invasion and living with his family, Andrii says: 'I wanted to do something, however small, to help the country I love. I did not consider my life was important compared to the bigger picture – I was prepared to die.'
Eventually, however, Russian police and security agencies cottoned on to his spying. Andrii knew he had to flee his home city when he heard Russian security officers were interrogating shoppers over his whereabouts, armed with a picture of him.
Andrii's escape from Mariupol in March last year was just as dangerous.
With all roads to the rest of Ukraine blocked, he had to cross into Russia.
In a nerve-shredding encounter at the border, Andrii was taken to a room where he was strip-searched by Russian guards.
They were looking for tattoos linking him to Ukrainian military units or evidence that he had been using a weapon.
They then questioned him for two hours before eventually releasing him, satisfied with his story that he was a student who needed to visit Russia. He travelled onwards through enemy territory by bus, praying each time it pulled over that no more gun-toting guards would board, asking for an 'Andrii'.
After what felt like an age, he crossed the Russian border into Belarus, and from there to Kyiv.
He was sad to leave his family but relieved to leave behind a city starved of electricity and drinking water, with little food in the shops and few medical supplies.
'Life under Russian control was horrible,' he says. 'There was an information vacuum. The internet was blocked along with Ukrainian and US TV and radio channels.
'We were cut off from the outside world and all we heard was Russian propaganda.'
Today he still works with the resistance but as an administrator in the Dnipro area in the east of the country.
He marshals spies still in Mariupol, feeding their vital intelligence to the armed forces.
'I am still trying to do my bit,' said Andrii, who has also resumed his studies. 'At the time of the invasion I was a quiet home boy, but I am proud of what I have been able to do.'

Behind enemy lines, resistance takes many forms.
Some take part in civil disobedience, a kind of non-violent protest against the occupiers.
Their actions, designed to boost morale, include
